Woodward 5466-318 MicroNet TMR Kernel Power Supply Module

Model: 5466-318
Brand: Woodward
Series: MicroNet Digital Control / MicroNet TMR
Core Function: Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Kernel Power Supply module. Receives 24 VDC from the main MicroNet power supplies and regulates it to a precise 5 VDC output (up to 10 A) to power the kernel CPU and related sections in high-reliability turbine control systems.
HS Code: 8504.40 / 8537.10 (Static converters / Boards and panels for electric control)

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

Selection Suggestions:

Confirm the system is a MicroNet TMR configuration.
This module must be paired with a compatible TMR040 CPU module.
Install only in the designated first (leftmost) kernel slot.
Verify input power quality (24 VDC ±10%) from the main MicroNet supplies.
Check for matching firmware/hardware revision if replacing an existing unit.

Precautions:

Always de-energize the chassis before insertion or removal.
Incorrect slot placement or missing TMR040 CPU will prevent proper operation.
Follow Woodward MicroNet installation and power sequencing guidelines.
Use only genuine Woodward batteries and accessories where applicable.
Handle with ESD precautions.
This is a critical power component — failure or improper installation can affect system availability.
