5.2 Safe Operation and Maintenance Specifications
Installation, wiring and maintenance work must be performed by professional and technical personnel. Before operation, the power supply of the control system must be completely disconnected, and plug-in and wiring operations can only be carried out after confirming no voltage to avoid electric shock or module damage; during wiring, strictly follow the manual specifications, use shielded wires to connect sensors and actuators, and reliably ground the shielding layer to prevent signal interference.
The supporting actuators, fuel valves, steam valves and other components need regular maintenance. It is recommended to overhaul them in accordance with Woodward factory standards according to the operating time or service life (whichever comes first) to restore equipment performance and ensure control accuracy and operation safety.
Module parameter configuration must be operated through Woodward special software or governor control panel, and parameters must be set in strict accordance with turbine operation requirements to avoid actuator misoperation caused by parameter errors; regularly check the tightness of module wiring terminals and the integrity of the shielding layer, and promptly handle any looseness or damage.
Before putting into use after long-term idle, it is necessary to test the module power supply, output current and feedback function, and connect it to the system only after confirming no faults; if a fault alarm occurs during operation, it is necessary to promptly check the feedback loop, actuator and power supply system, and it is forbidden to restart the module for operation before troubleshooting.
