Overview
The 4913988 is a Cummins EFC-series electronic speed governor configured for Normally Closed (NC / 常闭式) EFC actuators. It is optimised for NTA855, LTA10, and MTA11 engines where the actuator spring-defaults to the fuel-rich position and the governor must actively pull it away.
Key Features
- Normally Closed Output — Actuator returns to minimum fuel position on signal loss, providing inherent fail-safe shutdown
- Soft-Start Speed Ramp — Programmable acceleration profile eliminates startup overshoot and reduces mechanical wear
- MPU Speed Input — 600–9500Hz magnetic pickup input with automatic signal amplitude compensation
- Overspeed Shutdown — Configurable RPM limit with <1.5 second response for engine protection
- 12/24V Dual Voltage — Auto-ranging power supply compatible with both 12V and 24V generator electrical systems
- OEM Replacement — Pin-compatible replacement for Cummins 4913988 EFC electronic governor
