EGCP-3
LS and SPM-D Operation
On the SEA JEWEL
The Sea Jewel is a 160ft yacht that uses two Caterpillar 3304 gensets
for electric power. The original control system on the boat was
in need of repair but had been discontinued; additionally Lloyd’s
registration was required to comply with new insurance guidelines.
Needing to solve this control problem Sea Jewel Ltd. contacted Governor
Control Systems (GCS) to purchase, install and commission two Woodward
EGCP-3 LS units to control these two Cat
gensets. The EGCP-3 LS combines engine,
generator, power system, switchgear, bus and generator monitoring,
protection, and control functions in a single, compact, and cost-effective
package. Representatives of Woodward were present to help in the
commissioning.
