1. EC is easy
Permanent magnet motors running on high voltage direct current (DC)
electricity with built in AC to DC conversion allowing them to run
direct from single phase or three phase mains supplies. There are
several suppliers of such motors
2. What’s so special about an EC fan?
2.1 EC fans are generally recognised as being the latest thing in
energy efficient air movement technology, but what is an EC fan and
what makes it so special?
Although OFAN, the market leader in EC technology, is a China
company, EC has nothing to do with the Asia Community! In this
case, EC stands for Electronically Commutated which basically means
it is a fan with a brushless DC motor
3. Control options
To control the motor accurately and efficiently the integrated
electronics have to continuously monitor the motor speed and adjust
the control input. By making this circuitry available to external
sources it’s possible to provide simple speed control options.
Dependent on the motor type, any sensor which can provide a
0-10V/PWM or 4-20mA input can be directly connected to provide
closed loop control for temperature, pressure or whatever parameter
you choose to measure. No need to worry about DC supplies for the
sensors either, this is provided by another connection on the
motor. In fact, simply connect a potentiometer and you have
infinitely variable speed control. No triacs, no frequency
inverters and no whining noises! An EC motor under speed control is
virtually silent.
4. How does this affect energy efficiency?
Doubling the speed of a motor increases its power input by a factor
of 8 so it’s very wasteful to run a fan faster than is required. If
you can tailor the fan speed to match the demand, the potential for
energy saving is huge. Even when compared to on/off operation, EC
speed modulation is much more efficient.
EC fans can also contribute to increasing the overall efficiency of
an application. In a cooling system for example, keeping the
refrigerant pressure constant rather than having it rise and fall
as fans switch on and off has been found to reduce the load on the
compressor resulting in even greater energy saving

7. AC motors are designed to operate at a certain point on their
performance curve which coincides with their peak efficiency.
Either side of this operating point, the efficiency can drop off
considerably. EC motors on the other hand have an almost flat
efficiency curve which varies relatively little across the speed
range, a range which is not limited by synchronous speeds or as
susceptible to voltage fluctuations as an AC motor. This makes the
EC fan much more flexible in terms of being able to use the same
product to match the performance requirements of different
applications while still benefitting from increased efficiency.
