Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes the ebm-papst W4D400-DP12-40 AC fan suitable for industrial environments?
A: The W4D400-DP12-40 features rugged powder-coated steel construction, IP44 protection, thermal overload protection, and operates reliably from -40°C to +60°C – meeting all industrial requirements.
Q2: Can the ebm-papst W4D400-DP12-40 AC fan be installed outdoors?
A: Yes, the IP44 rating provides protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor installations. For harsh environments, consider additional weatherproofing.
Q3: How does this 3-phase fan compare to single-phase models?
A: Three-phase motors offer higher efficiency, smoother operation, and greater torque than comparable single-phase fans. They’re ideal for industrial applications requiring continuous duty operation.
Q4: What is the expected service life of the ebm-papst W4D400-DP12-40?
A: With its ball bearing motor and industrial-grade construction, you can expect 50,000+ hours of service under normal operating conditions.
Q5: Does the ebm-papst W4D400-DP12-40 require regular maintenance?
A: The sealed ball bearings are lubricated for life with no maintenance required under normal conditions. Periodic visual inspections are recommended for industrial environments.
Q6: Can the rotation direction of the ebm-papst W4D400-DP12-40 be reversed?
A: The fan is designed specifically for counterclockwise rotation only (viewed toward rotor). Reversing direction requires different blade geometry and would void warranty.
