2.5 Operang speed risks
CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage.
• Do not exceed the maximum rotaon speed indicated by Nederman.
• Do not use ON-OFF operang cycles unless expressly approved by Nederman.
• Do not subject the fan to thermal gradients greater than 3°C/minute.
• A condion of overspeed, even for a limited me, may cause irreversible damage and
create situaons of extreme risk hazards. The maximum speeds indicated by Nederman
must never be exceeded.
• The manufacturer must always be contacted in the case of use of a supply frequency
other than the original design frequency. Do not proceed unl authorized.
• In the case of fan operaon with a variable speed cycle of less than 30 minutes, this cycle
must be submied to approval by the Nederman Technical Oce, which will give its
approval and nofy the consequent reducon of maintenance intervals and the fan life
span.
• Inverng the fan rotaon direcon or starng it with the impeller turning in the opposite
direcon may cause breakage of the blades and/or the impeller hub, with the risk of
ejecon of metal parts.
• Resonance phenomena at low frequencies may cause damage to the structure.
Operang speeds greater than those envisaged by the fan design can create condions of
risk due to the reducon of the operave life span of moving parts.
In case of faults or malfuncons, overspeed condions may be created due to:
• Errors in the control logic system
• Short circuits on monitoring components
• Driver or inverter malfuncons
• Mechanical breakage of components, and in parcular on encoder
During normal operaon, condions of overspeed aributable to the drive system or motor
may occur, in parcular if the fan is supplied “with sha only” or with motor “without drive
system”.
The use of a supply frequency dierent from the original design frequency aects all fan
characteriscs. The modicaon of condions of use requires a complete revision of the
technical informaon sheet of the fan.
In the case of use at varying fan speeds or with frequent starng and stopping during
operaon, rotang organs are subject to mechanical stresses that may aect their
operave life span.
If the rotaon direcon of a fan must be inverted, or if it must be restarted, this must be
done only when the impeller is in the rest posion (total standsll).
Operaon at a speed signicantly lower than up to 40% of nominal speed (unless otherwise
specied by Nederman) may aect the cooling of the motor and bearings, with possible
malfuncons due to higher temperatures. For electrical components, the user and installer
are advised to provide adequate protecon for the drive system or motor, with the use of
heat detecon capsules if possible, and also using a servo-venlated motor if necessary.
Resonance phenomena in the structure must be avoided. These may emerge at specic
rotaon speeds, and may cause damage to the structure.
