16 Foot HVLS Ceiling Fan | 5 Blades | 5,400 Square Foot Coverage | 208-240V or 380-480V

Product Overview

This 16-foot HVLS ceiling fan delivers 353,147 CFM through five aluminum blades, covering up to 5,400 square feet per unit. The fan operates on a 1 HP (750W) PMSM motor at speeds up to 80 RPM, with a sound level of 38 dB during operation.

The complete assembly weighs 186 lbs and ships with a 2-foot downrod. A wall-mounted VFD controller is included for variable speed adjustment. The fan is available in silver finish and operates at 50/60 Hz frequency.

Voltage options include 208-240V and 380-480V configurations, supporting both single-phase and three-phase electrical systems. The fan body carries an IP55 rating, while the VFD controller is rated IP66.

Where This Product Fits Best

The 5,400 square foot coverage area positions this fan for mid-size industrial and commercial spaces. Warehouses, manufacturing floors, distribution staging areas, and large retail environments with ceiling heights that accommodate a 16-foot blade diameter are typical deployment locations.

The dual voltage range allows installation in facilities with either 208-240V single-phase or 380-480V three-phase service. This accommodates both older building electrical infrastructure and modern industrial power systems without requiring transformer additions.

At 38 dB, the operating sound level is low enough for environments where verbal communication or general workplace noise control matters. The IP55-rated fan body tolerates dust exposure and water spray, making it suitable for spaces with airborne particulates or occasional washdown conditions.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 353,147 CFM output at 80 RPM maximum speed creates broad, slow-moving air columns characteristic of HVLS fan operation. The five aluminum blades distribute airflow across the rated coverage area when mounted at appropriate ceiling heights.

The PMSM motor draws 750 watts at full load. Variable speed control through the included VFD allows operators to reduce airflow and power consumption based on seasonal conditions or occupancy patterns.

The IP55 rating on the fan body allows operation in environments with moderate dust accumulation and exposure to water jets from any direction. The controller''s IP66 rating provides a higher level of protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, appropriate for mounting in washdown areas or near exterior openings.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fan assembly weighs 186 lbs, requiring appropriate structural support at the mounting point. The included 2-foot downrod sets the baseline drop distance from the ceiling structure. Ceiling height, beam clearance, and desired blade elevation above the floor determine whether the standard downrod length works or if an alternative length is needed.

The wall-mounted VFD controller mounts separately from the fan and connects via control wiring run during installation. The IP66 controller rating allows placement in areas subject to direct water exposure or heavy dust, which expands mounting location options in industrial environments.

Both single-phase and three-phase wiring configurations are supported across the voltage ranges. Verify available service type and voltage at the installation location before final specification.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Day-to-day operation centers on the wall-mounted VFD controller. Facility operators adjust fan speed based on ambient temperature, occupancy levels, and seasonal airflow needs. The variable speed capability means the fan can run at reduced output during cooler months or lighter occupancy, then increase during peak demand periods.

The 38 dB sound level at full speed keeps the fan from becoming a noise issue in most working environments. In spaces where employees work in proximity to the coverage area, the low acoustic output avoids interference with communication or concentration.

Maintenance personnel access the fan for periodic inspection of blade condition, motor mounts, and electrical connections. The aluminum blade construction resists corrosion in environments with humidity or chemical exposure common in manufacturing and food processing facilities.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fan carries an IP55 rating and the VFD controller is rated IP66. These ratings address dust and water exposure appropriate for industrial and semi-outdoor applications.

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