AC-powered 80 mm case fan

The Fans 3E-230B is a new 80×80×38 mm axial fan that runs directly on 230 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. It draws 0.085 A at 50 Hz and 0.075 A at 60 Hz, consuming 13 W and 12 W respectively. The all-metal frame and blades are rated for 50 000 hours of service life.

Suited for mains-voltage cooling slots

This unit fits industrial enclosures, server racks or custom chassis that provide a 230 V AC supply and accept an 80 mm mounting pattern. Builders who only have 12 V or 5 V DC fan headers on a standard PC motherboard cannot use this fan without a separate mains-powered circuit.

The deciding spec is 230 V AC input

The fan operates exclusively on 230 V alternating current; it will not spin from any low-voltage DC header. Verify that your chassis or equipment supplies mains power at the fan location before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What are the mounting dimensions for the 80 mm metal frame?

The fan measures 80 by 80 by 38 mm, matching the standard 8038 cut-out used in many chassis and enclosures.

How do I wire the 230 V AC leads safely?

Connect the two supply wires to a 230 V 50/60 Hz source; the fan draws 0.085 A at 50 Hz and 0.075 A at 60 Hz, so ensure the circuit and any switch are rated for at least that current.

When should I plan to replace the ball-bearing fan?

The manufacturer rates service life at 50000 hours; at continuous operation that is roughly five to six years, after which bearing noise or speed drop signals replacement.
