Fans are very important for industries where reliability in heating or cooling control matters. Multiple industries depend on standard asynchronous (ac) motors for their fans, but the landscape is changing. Companies within the industry are asking for something new, something smaller, with a higher efficiency and a longer motor life cycle. To meet these demands and to guarantee the most suitable solution for your fan, Magnetic Innovations developed a high torque EC Fan Motor.
WHAT IS EC MOTOR TECHNOLOGY?
An Electronically Commutated (EC) motor is a brushless motor where the commutation of the motor phases is done by means of external power electronics. Our Direct Drive EC motor is based upon Permanent Magnet AC Synchronous Motor technology. This technology is very suitable for high torque in a relatively compact volume. Utilizing a direct drive concept it eliminates the need for external gear boxes or belt/pulley configurations.
EC FAN MOTOR TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROLLED EXTERNALLY
The torque and speed of the motor are controlled externally by external power electronics. The motor runs on a DC voltage. It is easily controllable by means of a direct connection with a three phase motor drive. In an environment where long life cycle is a must, power electronics inside a motor is generally it’s achilleas heel. This is why we have chosen to keep the electronics outside of the motor. The EC Fan Motor has no internal electronics that can get damaged and no moving parts that wear. That is why the Magnetics Innovations EC Fan motor is suitable for almost any fan application where durability and long life are key.
