Arctic Air Motor 230V - 1 Phase

The Arctic Air EC Direct Drive Motor is a premium, energy-efficient motor solution designed for modern agricultural ventilation systems. With an advanced EC (Electronically Commutated) motor design, this 1.5 horsepower, 230V single-phase unit offers precise speed control, reduced energy consumption, and quiet, low-maintenance operation. Built to power a wide range of direct drive fans, this motor is ideal for use in poultry barns, dairy facilities, swine operations, and greenhouse environments where consistent airflow and energy savings are critical.

Unlike traditional AC motors, this EC motor integrates a brushless DC motor with onboard electronics, enabling variable-speed functionality without the need for external VFDs (variable frequency drives). The result is a highly responsive, efficient motor that adjusts performance to match real-time ventilation demands—enhancing animal comfort, reducing electrical costs, and extending fan life.

Key Specifications:

• Voltage: 230V, Single Phase
• Horsepower: 1.5 HP
• Motor Type: EC (Electronically Commutated) – brushless, energy-efficient
• Speed Control: Variable-speed capable, built-in electronics (no VFD required)
• Mounting Style: Direct drive (designed for fan integration)
• Cooling Type: Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC)
• Enclosure Rating: Typically IP54–IP65 (varies by configuration)
• Efficiency: High motor efficiency with low standby power usage

Ideal For:

• Poultry houses – broilers, layers, breeders
• Dairy barns – holding areas, milking parlors
• Swine buildings – farrowing, nursery, grow-finish
• Greenhouses – climate-controlled airflow systems
• Ventilation retrofits – replacing outdated belt-drive or AC motors

The Arctic Air EC Direct Drive Motor is the future of agricultural ventilation. Its variable-speed capability allows for fine-tuned airflow management based on temperature, humidity, or animal activity, significantly reducing energy costs and wear on ventilation equipment. By eliminating the need for belts, pulleys, or external VFDs, this compact and efficient motor simplifies installation, reduces maintenance, and extends the overall life of your fan systems.

Whether you're outfitting a new barn or upgrading existing equipment, the Arctic Air EC Direct Drive Motor delivers the performance, efficiency, and durability you need to maintain healthy, productive environments.
