class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>State-of-the-art technology of AC fans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For more than 60 years, AC fans have been employed not only for cooling electronic devices and components but also for ventilation purposes. AC fans are extremely\u00a0 \u00a0robust and although the simple electric motor has no mechanical commutation they do have a relatively high power input. While several improvements since then have positively enhanced the efficiency, they have not fundamentally changed the fan. \u00a0Disturbing is the fact that AC fans require a defined operating voltage where the frequency is linked to the speed and consequently to the volume flow rate. Neither the function monitoring nor the speed control can be included. Negative aspects are the considerable weight and the fact that the manufacturing of these simple devices involves the use of large quantities of expensive raw materials, e.g. aluminium and copper.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Low-voltage DC fans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It was only thanks to the development of semiconductor technology, that it became possible to develop DC motors without mechanically operating collectors and furthermore to integrate the electronics required for commutation into the DC fan. DC fans are highly durable and are operated with low voltages of 5, 12, 24, seldom 48 VDC and compared to AC fans with the same volume flow rate, they only have a fraction of the power input. They contain very little copper. The housings and rotors are made from glass fibre-reinforced plastic and therefore weigh less.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>EC fans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fans operated with alternating current are required when direct current is not\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0available, e.g. in non-electronic systems and devices for cooling and ventilation\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 purposes. EC fans combine the advantages of both AC and DC fans. EC stands for electronically commutated DC fans. For operating from the mains, EC fans are equipped with an integrated AC\/DC converter that rectifies the higher AC voltage to a safe direct voltage. Only by employing the latest electronic components was it \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0possible to integrate the motor commutation and the complete AC\/DC converter into the hub of the fan without increasing the outer dimensions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5565d9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5565d9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>AC, DC and EC fans in comparison<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-77eb3c7\" data-id=\"77eb3c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-084d5c7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"084d5c7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d42cbc\" data-id=\"5d42cbc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d76d354 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d76d354\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1008\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-1024x1008.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47138\" alt=\"AC-Geh\u00e4use SEPA EUROPE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-1024x1008.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-1536x1512.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-2048x2016.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Gehause-600x591.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fe079e4\" data-id=\"fe079e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dac3690 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dac3690\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1015\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-1015x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47140\" alt=\"AC-Rotor SEPA EUROPE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-1015x1024.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-768x774.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-1523x1536.jpg 1523w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-2031x2048.jpg 2031w, https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AC-Rotor-600x605.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1015px) 100vw, 1015px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9183d97\" data-id=\"9183d97\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22bc70b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22bc70b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The illustration on the left shows the conventional AC fan with the dimensions 120x120x38mm.

This regulation stipulates a higher efficiency for fans with an electric input power of 125W and above. It is to be expected that it is only a matter of time until this performance limit drops further. \u00a0This means that the very large numbers of small and medium-sized fans installed in e.g. cooling units in food retailing and for ventilation purposes will have to be operated in a more environmentally-friendly manner, above all in systems that operate continuously or are designed for long-term operation. With this in mind, EC fans are regarded as a future-proof solution as they are generally more efficient, offer better controllability and further advantages when operating continuously.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-421b7d0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"421b7d0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;87a1ba7&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6663e5c\" data-id=\"6663e5c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a48bdb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"a48bdb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sepa-europe.com\/axialluefter-ac\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Overview AC\/EC fans<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-22acd49\" data-id=\"22acd49\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EC fans are operated by alternating current and can be used universally.
