Product Introduction

The NABCO MG-800 Actuator Drive Unit is the power stage of the MG-800 digital electronic governor system, one of the most common governor systems on large two-stroke main engines built in Japan and Asia. It receives the speed-control command from the governor control unit and drives the electric governor actuator that moves the engine’s fuel rack.

NABCO, today part of Nabtesco Corporation, introduced the MG-800 series in 1987 for large low-speed diesel engines, and hundreds of systems are still in service on bulk carriers, tankers and container ships. SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies refurbished MG-800 actuator drive units, junction boxes and governor spare parts worldwide – send your inquiry through https://www.smmarineservice.com/.

What Is the MG-800 Actuator Drive Unit?

A digital governor system controls main-engine speed by adjusting fuel. In the NABCO/Nabtesco system, a governor control unit in the engine control room calculates the required fuel index from the speed set-point and the actual speed measured by a pulse generator / pick-up on the engine. The actuator drive unit (ADU) converts this command into motor power for the electric governor actuator (EAR series), which turns the fuel linkage.

The ADU is typically installed in the engine control room or workshop, and connects to the actuator and sensors through a junction box such as the JB-GOV supplied with this unit.

Main Features

  • Power drive for MG-800 electric actuators – controls actuator motor position and torque.
  • Robust steel wall-mounted cabinet with hinged door and NABCO caution labels.
  • Internal 3-phase EMI noise filter (Okaya 3SUP-H20H-ER-4, 250 V AC, 20 A) for marine EMC.
  • Heat-sink mounted drive module (type GPAR-24NTS1 on the photographed unit).
  • JB-GOV junction box with multi-pin connectors and cables for actuator and sensor wiring.
  • Part of a digital governor system offering start modes, overspeed prevention, high-gain mode for rough weather and fuel-limit functions (system-level features).

Internal module label: TYPE GPAR-24NTS1, SER. No. D1112361, DATE 20.10.

Okaya 3SUP-H20H-ER-4 Noise Filter

Three-phase EMI/RFI filter (3 × 5.0 mH, 6 × 0.47 µF X2, 3 × 3300 pF Y, 3 × 470 kΩ bleed resistors), 250 V AC, 20 A, 50/60 Hz, -25/+50 °C, UL/CSA marked, Made in Japan. Suppresses electrical noise between the ship’s supply and the drive electronics.

Control / Interface PCBs

Drive and interface circuit boards inside the ADU. Board numbers are not clearly visible in the supplied photographs – not verified.

JB-GOV Junction Box

NABCO governor junction box connecting the ADU with the actuator, pick-up and control unit via multi-pin connectors.

Main Components & Related Units

  • Actuator Drive Units: ADU-120A-R, ADU-500A-R (MG-800 family)
  • Governor Control Units (Nabtesco): MCG-301 / MCG-302 (listed with MG-800), plus MCG-200, MCG-402, MCG-700 families
  • Electric Governor Actuators: EAR-20, EAR-100, EAR-120A, EAR-500A, EAR-1000A
  • Speed detection: engine pulse generator / magnetic pick-up
  • JB-GOV junction box and connecting cables

Marine & Industrial Applications

  • Main engine speed control on two-stroke low-speed diesel engines (MAN B&W, Mitsubishi UE, Sulzer/WinGD types).
  • Bulk carriers, tankers, container ships and car carriers built with NABCO / Nabtesco engine control.
  • Integration with NABCO main engine remote control systems.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

  • Governor actuator does not move – check ADU power supply, fuses, drive module and cable connections at JB-GOV.
  • Actuator hunting or unstable fuel index – feedback signal problems, loose connectors, worn actuator or incorrect control parameters.
  • Governor abnormal alarm – investigate ADU, actuator and control unit status displays according to the system manual.
  • Overheating of drive module – poor ventilation, dirty heat sink or overload.
  • Electrical noise / erratic behaviour – damaged noise filter, poor earthing or cable shield faults.

Safety: the cabinet carries “Voltage may cause electric shock” warnings. Switch off power before checking, and never operate with the door or protective cover open. Changes to the governor system must be coordinated with engine control procedures and the engine maker.

Maintenance Tips

  • Keep the cabinet clean, dry and well ventilated; clean the heat sink periodically.
  • Check tightness of terminals, connectors and earthing.
  • Inspect cables and connectors at the JB-GOV junction box for damage or oil contamination.
  • Record actuator position and alarm history to detect developing faults.
  • Keep a tested spare ADU or drive module on board for critical vessels.

Why the MG-800 Is Still Used

The MG-800 governor is built into the engine control system of many vessels, with matching actuator, control unit, cabling and settings approved together with the engine maker. Replacing a faulty ADU with the same type keeps the complete governor system, parameters and approvals unchanged – avoiding a costly governor retrofit and long off-hire time.
