SK-U1-FAN4-G3

The SK-U1-FAN4-G3 fan kit is a replacement fan kit that has been included in the spare parts catalog of the PowerFlex 400 series by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. This replacement fan kit comes with 4 fans that are all integrated into a single unit. This replacement fan kit is located below the drive that hosts it and it is especially recommended to install this fan kit to help the drive operate without the risk of overheating which could lead to further hazards and cause damages to the drive, the whole system, and the application process. The Allen-Bradley SK-U1-FAN4-G3 replacement fan kit is compatible with frame G drives from the Powerflex 400 series. The frame G drives operate with 260 Amps of current, and with 132 kilowatts and 200 Horsepower of output power. Frame G drives come with a NEMA 1 enclosure, which is equivalent to an IP 30 and a UL Type 1 enclosure.

The Allen-Bradley SK-U1-FAN4-G3 replacement fan kit needs to be checked periodically because dirt and dust can accumulate on the filters. If this happens, the fans might get stuck and stop providing the needed ventilation. These fans are important because when the ambient temperature is higher than the recommended levels, the drive with these fans will be protected. It is also recommended to install cooling equipment near both the Allen-Bradley SK-U1-FAN4-G3 replacement fan kit and the host drive for additional cooling. Additionally, the fan kit and the drive must not be exposed to corrosive atmospheres and they should both be protected from moisture. Ensure that dust or metallic parts will not get stuck in the filters of the fan. The SK-U1-FAN4-G3 replacement fan kit is installed inside the drive, so it benefits from the protection the drive’s enclosure provides.
