EC radial fan ebm-papst R3G250-RR01-H1 RadiCal Ø250 mm, 230 V
EC fan ebm-papst R3G250-RR01-H1 from the RadiCal series is a single-inlet radial fan with backward-curved blades and a rotor diameter of 250 mm. It is powered by single-phase 230 V (rated range 200…277 V, 50/60 Hz), and its speed is controlled by a 0–10 V DC or PWM signal, or via RS-485 MODBUS-RTU. The M3G084-DF motor features integrated PID control, an alarm relay, and thermal protection. The fan is suitable for air handling units, condensers, refrigeration systems, air-conditioning units, and other applications requiring high pressure in compact dimensions.
Key specifications: 230 V AC 1~ • 500 W • 2.2 A • 3740 min-1 • airflow up to 2210 m³/h (free flow) • pressure increase up to 1100 Pa • IP55 • operating temp. from -25 to 60 °C • weight 3.9 kg
Features, advantages and benefits
- EC motor with electronic commutation (M3G084-DF) → motor speed is electronically controlled and total efficiency is 60.3% (required minimum 2015: 48.4%) → lower energy consumption and lower operating costs than AC motor fans.
- Rotor with backward-curved blades (7 blades, PA material) → the rotor generates high static pressure up to 1100 Pa at 750 m³/h and operates at a moderate noise level → the fan handles the resistance of heat exchangers, filters and ducts, and at 1235 m³/h and 800 Pa it emits 70 dB(A) on the intake side.
- 0–10 V DC / PWM control and RS-485 MODBUS-RTU → the fan can be connected to a refrigeration controller or BMS system, or adjusted with a 10 kΩ potentiometer supplied from a 10 V DC output (max. 10 mA) → performance can be matched to the instantaneous load of the installation without the need for an additional inverter.
- Built-in PID controller → the fan can maintain a set process value independently based on a sensor signal → a simpler control system, because no external controller is required.
- Alarm relay (floating NC/COM contact, 250 V AC / 2 A, AC1) and operating status display → fan failure is signalled by opening the contact, which can be connected to the controller or supervision system → faults are detected faster and installation overheating is avoided.
- Protection against thermal overload of electronics and motor, current and power limiting, phase loss detection and undervoltage detection → the motor protects itself against improper operating conditions → lower risk of fan damage and less downtime.
- Active PFC and soft start → the fan reduces current distortion drawn from the grid (EN 61000-3-2/3) and does not overload the installation with startup current → more stable operation in systems with multiple consumers.
- Wide supply voltage range 200…277 V, 50/60 Hz → the fan operates under mains voltage fluctuations and different power standards → one version can be used in many devices.
- Cast aluminium housing, IP55 protection rating, insulation class „F”, moisture protection class H1 → the design is resistant to dust, water splashes and humidity, and condensate drainage holes are located on the rotor side → longer motor life in harsh conditions, including refrigeration installations.
- Operating temperature range from -25 to 60 °C, ball bearings, S1 service mode → the fan can operate continuously in cold and hot environments → reliable cooling all year round.
