ebm-papst W2E250-HL06-01 Axial Fan

W2E: AC axial fan, external rotor construction

250: Nominal impeller diameter 250 mm; overall dimensions 280 × 280 × 80 mm

HL06: Motor structure, winding version and mounting frame form

01: Variant revision number

2. Core Electrical & Mechanical Specifications

> ⚠️ Important Distinction: Two models with identical 280×80 outline are easily confused

> W2E250-HL06-01 (230V) ≠ W2E250-HL06-05 (115V version). Voltage mixing is forbidden.

3. Structure & Characteristics
4. External rotor AC motor: Classic ebm axial fan with metal frame for general industrial cooling;
5. Metal impeller + galvanized steel frame, vibration-resistant, widely used for forced cabinet ventilation;
6. No built-in thermal protection (external thermostat optional for some batches); sustained power supply under locked rotor condition will burn windings;
7. Avoid frequent full-voltage start-stop operation over long periods. If speed regulation is required, use phase-angle speed controllers. Ordinary voltage regulators are not recommended.
8. Typical Application Scenarios

Cooling for frequency converters and high-power servo control cabinets

UPS and industrial uninterruptible power supply cabinets

LV/MV electrical cabinets, air conditioning units and industrial oven ventilation

Cooling for welding equipment and test equipment enclosures

5. Alternative Options (Procurement Alternatives)

Direct OEM Replacement

W2E250-HL06-01 (standard stock model)

Equivalent model within series: W2E250-HL06-C01 (new part number, identical performance, commonly used as upgraded replacement)

Domestic Compatible Substitute (280×280×80 AC230V)

Domestic 28080 AC axial fans can be selected with the following requirements:

Double ball bearing, rated power ≥150W, comparable air flow & static pressure, matching mounting hole pitch of 254 mm.

6. Troubleshooting Guidelines
7. Fan fails to start when powered on: Measure 230V input; check broken wires; open/short motor windings; seized bearing
8. Abnormal noise & vibration: Worn bearings, unbalanced impeller due to dust accumulation, missing shock absorbers during installation
9. Overheating during operation: Blocked air intake, continuous high backpressure operation, excessive deviation from rated 230V supply

Speed Controller Selection Guide for W2E250-HL06-01 (AC230V, 0.75A)

⚠️ Critical Note: This fan is a single-phase AC external rotor fan and must be driven by a [Phase-Angle (Thyristor) Speed Controller]; autotransformer regulators and frequency converters are prohibited!

Fan rated current: 0.75A, select controller with minimum 1.3 times current margin.

1. ebm-papst Original Matching Units (Optimal Compatibility, Superior EMC Performance)

REE Series 230VAC Stepless Phase-Angle Speed Controllers

> Note: REE10 is the standard original matching model, preferred for overseas & industrial projects; longer lead time and higher cost are disadvantages.

2. Alternative Solutions (Domestic Industrial Phase-Angle Controllers, Widely Used for Cabinets)

1) Manual Knob Type (Local Adjustment)

Typical Models: ST-1、FS-02、FSC-1A

Requirements: AC220/230V, continuous current ≥1A, thyristor phase-angle regulation, compatible with single-phase AC axial fans.

2) Automatic Temperature Control Type (Recommended for Constant-Temp Cabinet Cooling)

Equipped with NTC temperature probe to adjust speed automatically according to temperature:

Domestic Models: FSC-T1、JK-1A (230V, 1A)

3. Prohibited Speed Control Solutions (Common Pitfalls)
4. ❌ Frequency Converter: Direct drive of single-phase AC fan will likely burn windings;
5. ❌ Ordinary Autotransformer Regulator: Insufficient low-speed torque and severe overheating;
6. ❌ DC 0–10V Signal Controller: Only applicable to EC fans; incompatible with this AC fan;
7. ❌ AC PWM Chopper Module: Severe harmonic distortion, causing fan noise and vibration.
8. Brief Wiring Instruction (REE10)
9. Power Input: Connect L, N to 230V mains supply;
10. Output: Connect to two power leads of the fan;
11. Internal trimmer for minimum startup speed adjustment (to avoid startup failure at low speed);
12. Reliable PE earthing is mandatory.
13. Quick Solution Recommendation

Single fan, export equipment / high-standard cabinet: Select REE10 directly

Domestic project, cost control: Adopt domestic 1A phase-angle fan speed controller; choose variant with temperature probe if automatic temperature regulation is required.

2. Environment with high concentration of corrosive gas or direct heavy oil/water splash (Protection Class IP20; extra protective measures needed);
3. Application requiring precise 0–10V analog speed control: This is an AC fan and only compatible with REE10 phase-angle controller, 0–10V EC fan control is not supported;
4. Closed duct with ultra-high backpressure: Axial fan has limited static pressure; centrifugal fans are recommended for high-pressure duct systems.

Recommended Matching Configuration

Speed control for single fan → REE10 (Original phase-angle speed controller as shown in picture);

Centralized speed control for multiple parallel fans → REE30;

Dusty on-site environment: Install dust filter at fan air inlet side.
