| Motor frame | The fan has a square housing measuring 80 × 80 × 38 mm and weighs 0.49 kg. Mounting is done with ISO 4762 M4 screws, degreased and without a washer. The maximum tightening torque varies depending on the mounting corner: 50 Ncm at the cable outlet corner and 120 Ncm at the other corners. The mounting position for the shaft is optional. |
| Casing | metal, square |
| Impeller | The fan impeller is made of metal and is balanced to balancing class 2.5. Airflow is achieved with air exhaust over the support legs. At 50 Hz and free airflow, the fan impeller provides a maximum flow of 44 m³/h and a maximum static pressure of 43 Pa. At 60 Hz, it provides 53 m³/h and 60 Pa static pressure. |
| Bearing type | ball bearing |
| Motor protection | locked rotor impedance protection |
| Motor code | VWC0080AQHCS |
| Rotation direction | clockwise (viewed facing the rotor) |
| Motor type | The motor is an AC motor operating at 230 V at both 50 and 60 Hz. At 50 Hz, it consumes 12 W, and at 60 Hz, 11 W. The motor is protected against locked rotor via impedance. It has protection class I and meets approval requirements according to CE, UL, VDE, CSA, and CCC. The lifespan is up to 52,500 hours at 40 °C and 50 Hz. |
