12 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 4100 Square Foot Coverage | 208-240V or 380-480V

Product Overview

This 12-foot HVLS ceiling fan moves 176,574 CFM through five aluminum blades at a maximum speed of 100 RPM. The fan operates at 38 dB, which places it well below conversational volume levels during full-speed operation.

The unit weighs 143 pounds and ships with a 2-foot downrod. A wall-mounted VFD controller is included for variable speed adjustment. The motor is a 0.5 HP (370 watt) PMSM design capable of running on 50 or 60 Hz power systems.

Two voltage configurations are available: 208-240V for single-phase applications and 380-480V for three-phase installations. The fan body carries an IP55 rating, and the included controller is rated IP66.

Where This Product Fits Best

The 4,100 square foot coverage rating defines the practical floor area this fan serves under normal mounting conditions. Facilities with open floor plans, minimal obstructions, and ceiling heights that accommodate the 12-foot blade span plus required clearances are appropriate candidates.

The dual voltage range supports installation in both light commercial spaces running single-phase 208-240V service and industrial facilities with three-phase 380-480V distribution. Confirming available voltage and phase at the installation point is essential before specifying this unit.

The IP55 rating on the fan allows installation in spaces with airborne dust and occasional water spray from any direction. The IP66-rated controller tolerates more direct water exposure, supporting placement in washdown areas or locations with high-pressure cleaning routines.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 176,574 CFM, this fan produces substantial air movement across its rated coverage area. The variable speed capability through the wall-mounted VFD allows operators to reduce output during cooler periods or increase circulation during peak demand.

The 38 dB sound level at full speed permits operation in occupied spaces without significant noise intrusion. This is relevant for facilities where verbal communication or concentration is required during fan operation.

The PMSM motor design delivers the rated output at 370 watts. This motor type maintains consistent torque across the speed range, which supports stable operation as speed settings are adjusted through the VFD.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan mounts using the included 2-foot downrod. Structural capacity at the mounting point must support the 143-pound fan weight plus dynamic loads during operation. Ceiling attachment hardware and methods should be verified against local requirements and the specific structure type.

Electrical installation requires matching the supply voltage and phase to the fan configuration. The 208-240V option operates on single-phase power, while the 380-480V option requires three-phase service. The VFD controller mounts separately on a wall surface within the rated environmental conditions.

The aluminum blade construction resists corrosion in humid or damp environments. Routine inspection of blade attachment points and downrod connections supports long-term safe operation.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Operators typically set the fan speed based on seasonal conditions or activity levels in the space. The wall-mounted VFD provides direct speed control without requiring access to the fan itself, which is practical given typical mounting heights for HVLS equipment.

In warehouse and manufacturing settings, the fan runs continuously during occupied hours to maintain air circulation. The low sound output allows it to operate without interfering with normal work activities or communication.

Facilities with variable occupancy or shifting thermal loads adjust fan speed throughout the day. The variable control allows the fan to run at reduced speeds during lighter demand periods, then increase output as conditions require.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fan body is rated IP55. The included wall-mounted VFD controller is rated IP66.

The fan carries a 3-year warranty. The VFD controller carries a separate 2-year warranty.
