Storm clouds over a field — an illustration of the risk of a power cutKnowledge

Emergency opening of inlet dampers during a power cut

This article covers the opening of inlet dampers in the event of a power cut. The starting point for discussing such a system is to determine what should happen to the air inlets when normal control is no longer available. Before choosing a solution, it is worth gathering information about the actuators used…

EC vs AC fan savings calculatorKnowledge

EC and AC fans: how to compare energy costs?

The calculator helps estimate electricity savings over a year. It compares two ebm-papst fans with a diameter of 63 cm, one with an EC motor (model: S3G630-DQ37-35) and the other with an AC motor (model: S6E630-DN01-35), controlled by the ELETOR SC-S controller. For a correct…
