Troubleshooting
Introduction
This chapter presents several broad categories of application failures typically
experienced in the field, possible causes, and some tests used to verify the
causes. Because the exact failure experienced in the field is the product of the
mechanical/electrical failure combined with the configuration file resident in the
actuator, it is left as the OEM’s responsibility to create a more detailed
troubleshooting chart for the end user. Ideally, this end-user troubleshooting
chart will contain information about mechanical, electrical, engine, and load
failures in addition to the possible governor failures. For more detailed
information about governor system failure modes and effects, contact Woodward
for a copy of the system IAFMEA.
The troubleshooting scenarios listed below assume that the end user has a
digital multi-meter at his disposal for testing voltages and checking continuity,
and assume that the application has been engineered and tested thoroughly.
General System Troubleshooting Guide
The following is a general troubleshooting guide for areas to check which may
present potential difficulties. By making these checks appropriate to your
engine/turbine before contacting Woodward for technical assistance, your system
problems can be more quickly and accurately assessed.
Is the wiring correct?
Is the direction of the stroke correct?
Is the direction of the failsafe shutdown correct?
Does the valve move through its proper stroke smoothly?
Does the valve travel its full stroke?
Can mid-stroke be obtained and held?
Does the valve fully seat (close)?
Does the valve fully open?
The actions described in this troubleshooting section are not always
appropriate in every situation. Always make sure that any action
taken will not result in loss of equipment, personal injury, or loss of
life.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be
equipped with an overspeed shutdown device to protect against
runaway or damage to the prime mover with possible personal injury,
loss of life, or property damage.
The overspeed shutdown device must be totally independent of the
prime mover control system. An overtemperature or overpressure
shutdown device may also be needed for safety, as appropriate.
