Electrical, Environmental And Mechanical Data
Measurement Inputs
Generator voltage, three generator currents and mains/busbar voltage measurement are provided. The 5 A version has a 3.0 × rated-current linear generator measurement range and 10 × rated-current one-second short-time rating.
Voltage And Frequency
Woodward lists 120 VAC and 480 VAC measurement classes, Class 1 accuracy and a 50/60 Hz measuring system with a 40 to 85 Hz range. Verify the configured measuring range before connection.
Temperature And Humidity
Operating ambient: -20 to +70 °C (-4 to +158 °F). Storage: -30 to +80 °C (-22 to +176 °F). Humidity: up to 95%, non-condensing.
Housing And Installation
Plastic front-panel housing, approximately 219 × 171 × 61 mm and 800 g. Panel cutout is 186 [+1.1] × 138 [+1.0] mm. Connections use screw/plug terminals up to 2.5 mm².
Applications And Integration Conditions
The easYgen-2300 package is intended for generator-set control in single-unit mains-parallel and multi-unit island systems. Its functions cover synchronization, breaker operation, load/var sharing, AMF and configurable protection. Installation depends on the generator and mains sensing arrangement, CT ratio, breaker logic, engine interface, analog I/O, CAN/RS-485 configuration and ToolKit parameter file.
Before commissioning 8440-2080, confirm the panel cutout, front fastening method, rear clearances, power supply, configured CT/voltage ranges, control wiring, CAN and Modbus addresses, supported ECU protocol and the approved project settings. A parameter backup should be retained before exchanging a unit.
Lifecycle, Service Bulletin And Replacement Guidance
Frequently Asked Questions
Which exact Woodward product is 8440-2080?
Woodward lists 8440-2080 as easYgen-2300-5/P1: a front-panel easYgen-2000 genset control and protection unit with 5 A CT inputs and Package P1 communications.
Can 8440-2080 control multiple generator sets?
Yes. Woodward states that the easYgen-2000 family can share active and reactive load and perform load-dependent start/stop for up to 16 gensets in island operation. The complete system design and settings must match the installed project.
Which communications are available on 8440-2080?
The easYgen-2300 P1 feature table lists one FlexCAN interface, one RS-485 Modbus RTU slave interface and a service port used with the appropriate Woodward DPC USB or RS-232 cable.
Does Woodward Service Bulletin 37987 apply to every 8440-2080?
No. The bulletin identifies a specific group of serial numbers. Compare the exact serial number on the unit with Appendix A before arranging an update, repair or exchange.
Is there a confirmed direct replacement for 8440-2080?
The reviewed Woodward sources do not name a universal drop-in replacement. Any change must preserve the application mode, CT and voltage sensing, breaker logic, I/O, communications, ECU interface, panel dimensions, wiring and approved parameter file.
Model Identification
Use the exact part number 8440-2080 together with the official designation easYgen-2300-5/P1. Search forms such as "84402080", "easYgen 2300 5 P1" or "Woodward easYgen-2300 controller" can help locate records, but they must not replace verification of the physical part-number and serial-number labels.
