W2AC-A4CB-R
AI

The **W2AC-A4CB-R** belongs to a specific series of high-performance **AC Axial Fans**, typically manufactured by brands like **Sanyo Denki** (San Ace series) or similar industrial thermal management providers. These fans are designed for cooling industrial equipment, server racks, and power supplies.

### 1. Key Technical Specifications
The model nomenclature typically breaks down into the following electrical and physical characteristics:
| Feature | Specification |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Input Voltage** | 200V - 240V AC (indicated by the 'A' or '2' prefix) |
| **Frequency** | 50/60 Hz Dual Frequency |
| **Current / Power** | Approximately 0.10A - 0.14A (Typical for this frame size) |
| **Speed (RPM)** | High Speed (approx. 2700 - 3250 RPM) |
| **Airflow** | High Volume (approx. 90 - 110 CFM) |
| **Bearing Type** | Dual Ball Bearings (R-suffix often indicates long life) |

### 2. Internal Electronic Components
While these are AC-driven motors, they contain sophisticated electronic and mechanical structures to ensure efficiency:
#### A. The Induction Motor
The heart of the W2AC-A4CB-R is a **Shaded-Pole** or **Capacitor-Run** induction motor. Unlike DC fans that use a PCB with a Hall Effect sensor, these use electromagnetic induction to rotate the permanent magnet or squirrel-cage rotor.
#### B. Bearings (Mechanical/Electronic Support)
The "R" suffix usually denotes a **Dual Ball Bearing** system.
- **Electronics impact:** High-quality bearings reduce friction, which prevents the motor from drawing excess current and overheating the internal windings.
#### C. Thermal Protection
Most fans in this series include an **Impedance Protection** or **Thermal Cut-off**:
- If the fan blades are obstructed (locked rotor), the internal resistance is high enough to prevent the coils from melting or catching fire.
#### D. Construction Materials
- **Frame:** Die-cast aluminum (acts as a heat sink for the motor).
- **Impeller:** Plastic (UL 94V-0 rated flame retardant).

### 3. Wiring and Connection
The **A4CB** designation often refers to the terminal or lead wire configuration:
1. **Terminals:** Usually features two solder terminals or fast-on connectors for AC input.
2. **Grounding:** The aluminum frame typically features a grounding screw point to prevent ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) or electrical leakage.

### 4. Typical Applications
* **Control Panels:** Removing heat from PLCs and Inverters.
* **Server Cabinets:** Maintaining airflow in high-density racks.
* **Medical Equipment:** Reliable cooling for power-intensive diagnostic tools.
