Rotation Speed and Airflow: The rotation speed is adaptively adjusted with frequency, reaching 2550r/min at 50Hz and 2800r/min at 60Hz; equipped with a 6-blade design, the airflow direction is upward, which can form stable low-pressure airflow and efficiently cover the cooling area of the equipment
Additional Functions: Equipped with an independent wire thermal contact, which can monitor the operating temperature of the fan in real time and trigger signal feedback in case of abnormalities, facilitating equipment fault early warning

2.2 Physical and Material Specifications

Adopting industrial-grade lightweight materials and compact design, it is suitable for the built-in installation space of equipment. The core parameters are as follows:

Material Composition: The whole fan is made of aluminum alloy, and the turbine head is integrally formed of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which combines light weight and heat dissipation performance. The shell is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, capable of resisting slight dust erosion in industrial sites
Installation Compatibility: As a dedicated built-in fan for equipment, it needs to be fixed with the original mounting position of ABB frequency converters. It is recommended to use self-locking screws of 8.8-grade strength for fastening to prevent loosening caused by vibration; the screw depth and specific installation dimensions can refer to the official product drawings
Structural Design: Adopting an external rotor structure design, it has high integration and compact volume, which can be seamlessly embedded into the module cooling channel of ACS 800 series frequency converters without requiring additional expansion of installation space

2.3 Environmental Adaptability

Compliant with the environmental adaptation standards for industrial-grade cooling equipment, it can cope with temperature changes and slight pollution during equipment operation. The core indicators are as follows:

Operating Temperature: Adapted to the high-temperature environment inside the frequency converter, it can operate stably within the range of -20℃~60℃, withstand high-temperature airflow discharged from the equipment cooling channel, and has a long mean time between failures
Anti-interference and Protection: Although there is no clear IP protection rating marked, the aluminum alloy shell can effectively prevent dust, suitable for installation environments in industrial control rooms and on-site cabinets. The electrical wiring part has basic insulation protection

3. Compatible Systems and Hardware Combinations

As a dedicated accessory for ABB equipment, this fan has strong targeted compatibility and is only compatible with specific series of frequency converters and modules. The specific compatible combinations are as follows:

Compatible Main Equipment: Core-compatible with ABB ACS 800 series frequency converters, with a focus on ACS 800-x04 models; it cannot be randomly replaced with cooling fans of other series of frequency converters
Compatible Modules: Specifically designed for CDC modules, 550A power modules and 700A power modules, which can accurately match the size and cooling requirements of the module cooling channels
Supporting Components: Need to be used with the original wiring terminals and fixing brackets of the frequency converter; the wires of thermal contacts must be connected to the equipment control system to realize temperature monitoring and fault feedback functions

4. Product Features

4.1 Dedicated Adaptability and Precise Compatibility

As a custom fan for ABB, it fully matches the structural design and cooling requirements of ACS 800 series frequency converters, achieving seamless adaptation in terms of installation dimensions and electrical parameters, thus avoiding insufficient cooling or installation interference caused by improper adaptation of general-purpose fans. The exclusive design of thermal contacts can link with the frequency converter control system to form a complete cooling monitoring closed loop.

4.2 Industrial-grade Reliability and Stable Operation

Adopting mature external rotor motor technology from ebm-papst and aluminum-magnesium alloy turbine heads, the fan has high blade dynamic balance accuracy, low operating noise and strong stability, and can withstand high temperature and slight vibration inside the frequency converter for a long time. The wide-voltage and dual-frequency adaptive design can resist industrial power grid fluctuations, ensuring continuous output of stable air volume under different power supply environments.

4.3 Easy Installation and Low Operation & Maintenance Cost

The compact structural design eliminates the need for additional modification of equipment installation space, and can be quickly disassembled and assembled with self-locking screws, facilitating on-site operation and maintenance replacement. As a standardized spare part, it has mature procurement channels, and its service life matches the core components of the frequency converter, which can reduce downtime losses and operation & maintenance costs caused by frequent replacement.

5. Safe Operation and Precautions

5.1 Installation and Operation Specifications

Installation, disassembly and maintenance work must be performed by trained qualified technicians. Before operation, all power supplies of the frequency converter and fan must be disconnected, and the Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedure must be implemented. After disconnecting the voltage, wait for 5 minutes to allow internal capacitors to discharge completely before operation to avoid electric shock hazards.
During installation, use self-locking screws of 8.8-grade strength, control the screw depth according to the requirements of official drawings, ensure the fan is firmly fixed, prevent screw loosening or fan displacement due to vibration during operation, and avoid affecting the cooling effect.
During wiring, check the terminal definitions to ensure the correct connection of power positive and negative poles and thermal contact wires, avoid fan burnout or monitoring function failure caused by reverse connection; regularly inspect the wiring terminals and replace loose or damaged ones immediately.

5.2 Maintenance and Safety Warnings

It is strictly prohibited to modify, retrofit or alter the structure of the fan without official approval from ABB or ebm-papst; otherwise, it may lead to reduced cooling performance, equipment failure and even safety accidents.
Regularly clean dust accumulation on fan blades and shells to avoid blocking cooling channels; at the same time, regularly inspect the status of electrical components, perform safety tests with reference to the equipment manual, and replace aging wires or faulty components in a timely manner.
Rotating parts and slight heat will be generated during fan operation; it is strictly prohibited to touch the fan blades while the equipment is running. A certain ventilation space must be reserved in the installation area to avoid blocking the airflow channel.
Waste or faulty fans must be disposed of in accordance with industrial waste disposal standards and shall not be discarded at will to ensure environmental compliance.
