If the available space permits, in installaons where the intake is connected to a pipe,
we recommend ng a straight length of pipe with a length approximately 2.5 mes the
diameter of the impeller, to guarantee correct air ow into the intake. See Figure 8.
With installaons with an open air intake, we recommend leaving a distance equal to
approximately 1.5 mes the diameter of the impeller between the fan intake and the
nearest wall or machine. See Figure 10.
4.5.3 Electrical connecons
The fan’s power supply line must have a suciently high power rang.
Connecon to the main power grid must only be carried out by qualied personnel. Also,
the client is responsible for the enre electrical system up to motor terminal board.
Remember the importance of installing a safe connecon to earth for the fan. The earth
connecon system must comply with legislaon in eect in the country of installaon and
must be periodically checked by qualied personnel. Make the connecon to earth before
any other connecon. Check that the connecon layout is suited to the mains power
voltage.
Usually, standard electric motors can run in both direcons indierently. To invert the
direcon of rotaon, simply swap over any two power cables directly on the terminal
board.
The client must also install an electrical disconnecng device near the fan so that
maintenance personnel can have direct control over the power supply to the fan.
All work performed on the electrical system must only be carried out with the fan at rest
and electrically disconnected from the mains.
Before installing/starng up, ensure that the informaon on the idencaon plate on the
motor is compable with the main power supply
4.5.4 Motor connecons
See gures 2, 3 and 4. Check the data on the motor idencaon plate for which
connecon to be used.
4.6 Connecon to ducts
NOTE! Installaons with an open air intake are not recommended.
The fan must be connected to ducng with all parts correctly aligned, without obstrucons
to air ow from gaskets or exible components. The weight of ducng must not be
supported by the fan, and deformaons of parts of the machine by ducng connecons
must be avoided. Any exible joints between the fan and intake and/or exit ducts must be
installed in a way that prevents stress on exible components, and that avoids contacts
between metallic parts of the joints (see Figure 9).
4.7 Checks to be made before and aer starng
4.7.1 Preliminary checks
WARNING! Risk of personal injury!
Preliminary checks must only be performed with the fan at rest and disconnected from the
power supply.
Close o the air intake parally to reduce the power peak at start-up and the motor
starng me.
