Overview

The nVent A6AXFN is a 6-inch axial fan designed for compact enclosure cooling in industrial applications. Rated at 115VAC, it delivers 240 CFM of airflow at 60Hz and 200 CFM at 50Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 36W at 50Hz and 32W at 60Hz. The fan operates at 0.45A (50Hz) and 0.36A (60Hz) with a maximum motor speed of 3200 RPM at 60Hz and 2670 RPM at 50Hz. Its compact dimensions (6.77 in² fan size, 1.50 in depth) make it ideal for tight spaces such as control panels, electrical cabinets, and industrial machinery. The steel housing provides durable protection against dust and debris, while the lead wire connection simplifies installation. With a noise level of 56 dBA at 60Hz and 50 dBA at 50Hz, the A6AXFN is suitable for environments where operational noise must be minimized. The fan is optimized for continuous operation and is engineered for longevity with minimal maintenance requirements. Common applications include thermal management in manufacturing, automation, renewable energy systems, data centers, and HVAC equipment. The 50/60Hz compatibility ensures global deployment flexibility without hardware adjustments.

How to Install the A6AXFN Compact Cooling Fan

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the A6AXFN compact cooling fan. Ensure proper airflow and electrical connections for safe operation.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Nuts, Lockwashers, Ground wire, Finger guard

  1. Verify Product Suitability

    Check the ratings on the fan label to ensure the product is suitable for your application. Refer to the datasheet for specific voltage, frequency, and phase requirements as these may vary by model.

  2. Determine Mounting Location and Airflow Direction

    Select a mounting location and establish the desired airflow direction through the fan. Arrows on the fan housing indicate airflow direction and blade rotation.

  3. Assemble Finger Guard

    Assemble the provided finger guard to either side of the fan, preferably on the side that could be reached accidentally. Additional finger guards may be available.

  4. Mount the Fan

    Secure the fan in the desired position using the supplied screws, nuts, and lockwashers. Ensure the fan is firmly attached.

  5. Wire the Fan

    Disconnect power supply before wiring. Connect the two fan leadwires to the appropriate voltage power source according to applicable local codes and ordinances. Ensure exposed wires do not contact the fan housing.

  6. Ground the Fan Housing

    Ground the fan housing using a lead sized per N.E.C. standards. Use the provided green screw to connect the separate ground wire to the fan housing slot. Ensure the grounding screw does not protrude through the fan housing.
