The WD300 series of shutdown panels from Murphy by Enovation Controls represents a reliable, comprehensive solution for monitoring and protecting diesel engines. These panels are designed with advanced features such as Swichgage® instruments for oil pressure and coolant temperature monitoring, magnetic switches, and emergency stop buttons, providing essential safeguards against engine failures. With multiple configurations to suit various diesel engines—whether or not they include a fuel shutdown solenoid—the WD300 series offers flexibility, safety, and ease of use for industrial and marine applications.
This article provides a detailed overview of four key products in the WD300 series: WD300-12, WD300LV-E6, WD300LV-E4, and WD300LV-E10.
1. Murphy Swichgage® Shutdown Panel 12V with SV Fuel Valve (WD300-12)
The WD300-12 shutdown panel is the ideal control solution for diesel engines that lack a shutdown solenoid within the injection pump. This panel comes equipped with basic engine protection, specifically focusing on low oil pressure and high coolant temperature, ensuring that critical parameters are continuously monitored to avoid costly engine damage.
Key Features:
*Fuel Solenoid Shutdown Valve (SV Series): Automatically cuts off the fuel supply in case of engine failure, ensuring the engine stops in emergency conditions.
*Swichgage® Instruments:
*Low Lube Oil Pressure Swichgage®: Monitors oil pressure and triggers shutdown if pressure falls below safe limits.
*High Coolant Temperature Swichgage®: Monitors engine temperature and triggers a shutdown when the engine overheats.
*Universal Design: Suitable for diesel engines that do not include a fuel solenoid within the injection pump.
*Emergency Shutdown: Includes the PB128S emergency stop push button for manual shutdown during critical situations.
Panel Kit Components:
*Low Lube Oil Pressure Swichgage®
*High Coolant Temperature Swichgage®
*117PH Magnetic Switch: Ensures precise control over shutdown actions.
*SV Series Solenoid Fuel Shutoff Valve: Provides reliable fuel cutoff in case of engine malfunction.
*PB128S Emergency Stop Push Button
This panel is perfect for applications requiring a fuel solenoid shutdown valve and basic engine monitoring.
2. WD300LV-E6: Swichgage® Shutdown Panel (Less SV Fuel Valve, 6 ft Capillary Temperature Gage)
The WD300LV-E6 is an excellent choice for diesel engines equipped with a built-in fuel shutoff solenoid in the injection pump. This panel is designed for those who don't require the SV Series fuel solenoid valve, offering reliable engine monitoring with low oil pressure and high coolant temperature gauges.
Key Features:
*6 ft Capillary Temperature Gage: Features an extended 72-inch (1.8 m) capillary for the temperature gauge, making it suitable for engines that need extended flexibility in temperature sensing.
*Swichgage® Instruments:
*20P Oil Pressure Swichgage®: Monitors oil pressure (0-100 psi) to detect potential lubrication issues.
*20T Temperature Swichgage®: Monitors coolant temperature (130-250°F), offering precise temperature control.
*117PH Magnetic Switch: Coordinates the shutdown signals between the pressure/temperature Swichgages and the engine control systems.
*PB128S Emergency Stop Push Button: Allows for manual emergency shutdown.
The WD300LV-E6 is enclosed on the top, bottom, and sides, with open access from the back for easy installation and maintenance.
3. WD300LV-E4: Swichgage® Shutdown Panel (Less SV Fuel Valve, 4 ft Capillary Temperature Gage)
The WD300LV-E4 is similar to the E6 but features a standard 4 ft (48-inch) capillary temperature gauge, offering a compact, streamlined design ideal for applications with less demanding space requirements. It is designed for diesel engines with a built-in fuel solenoid.
Key Features:
*4 ft Capillary Temperature Gage: Standard length capillary (48-inch or 1.2 m) for monitoring coolant temperature within the engine.
*Swichgage® Instruments:
*20P Oil Pressure Swichgage®: Provides real-time feedback on oil pressure, helping detect lubrication issues early.
*20T Temperature Swichgage®: Alerts when engine temperatures exceed safe levels.
*117PH Magnetic Switch: Ensures smooth operation of the shutdown process in response to sensor input.
*PB128S Emergency Stop Push Button: Manual control for stopping the engine in emergencies.
The WD300LV-E4 is a robust panel with universal applications for diesel engines, providing critical engine protection without the need for an additional fuel valve.
4. WD300LV-E10: Swichgage® Shutdown Panel (Less SV Valve, 10 ft Capillary on Temperature Gage)
The WD300LV-E10 features a 10 ft (120-inch) capillary temperature gauge, making it suitable for larger diesel engines or setups where extended monitoring flexibility is required.
Key Features:
*10 ft Capillary Temperature Gage: Extended capillary length (120-inch or 3.05 m) provides the capability to monitor engines that require more space between the engine and the panel.
*Swichgage® Instruments:
*20P Oil Pressure Swichgage®: Monitors oil pressure to help prevent engine damage from insufficient lubrication.
*20T Temperature Swichgage®: Tracks engine temperature, preventing overheating.
*117PH Magnetic Switch: Ensures accurate and timely engine shutdown when needed.
*PB128S Emergency Stop Push Button: Offers manual emergency shutdown capability.
The WD300LV-E10 is well-suited for larger or more complex engine setups, thanks to its long capillary gauge and versatile mounting design.
The WD300 series from Murphy by Enovation Controls provides a versatile range of shutdown panels designed to protect diesel engines by monitoring critical parameters such as oil pressure and coolant temperature. Each panel is equipped with Murphy Swichgage® instruments, ensuring accurate readings and reliable protection for diesel engines. Whether or not your engine requires a fuel solenoid shutdown valve, the WD300 series offers a comprehensive set of solutions tailored to different operational needs.
*WD300-12 is ideal for engines without built-in fuel solenoids, featuring a fuel solenoid shutdown valve.
*WD300LV-E6, WD300LV-E4, and WD300LV-E10 cater to engines with built-in fuel solenoids, offering different capillary lengths for temperature monitoring.
For industries relying on diesel engines—whether in industrial equipment, marine engines, or agricultural machines—the WD300 series provides the necessary protection and reliability to prevent costly engine failures, ensuring optimal performance.
