5415-858

The Woodward 5415-858 is a high‑precision digital electro‑hydraulic (I/H) converter and actuator drive module for 505 / 505E / 505XT turbine governor systems. It converts governor commands into proportional hydraulic drive signals for steam/gas turbine valves, integrating dual‑coil solenoid drivers, fault detection, and galvanic isolation in a compact rack‑mount package.

The Woodward 5415-858 is a high‑precision digital electro‑hydraulic (I/H) converter and actuator drive module for 505 / 505E / 505XT turbine governor systems. It converts governor commands into proportional hydraulic drive signals for steam/gas turbine valves, integrating dual‑coil solenoid drivers, fault detection, and galvanic isolation in a compact rack‑mount package.

2. General Description

The 5415-858 receives 4–20 mA / 1–5 Vdc control signals from the 505‑series governor and drives proportional or on‑off hydraulic solenoids to regulate turbine speed, load, and overspeed protection. It supports single/dual actuator configurations and provides closed‑loop current regulation for accurate valve positioning. Built for redundant, hot‑swap operation, it delivers high reliability in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial turbine applications.

3. Key Features
