EFE500R5

Overview

The nVent Hoffman EFE500R5 is an EMC vertical filter fan designed for electrical enclosures. It provides air flow rates of 370 cfm (480 m³/h) at both 115 V AC and 230 V AC operation. The unit operates on 50/60 Hz power with amperage ratings of 0.35 A and 0.45 A respectively. Power consumption is rated at 80 W for the 230 V configuration and 100 W for the 115 V configuration. The housing combines stainless steel and plastic materials, offering IP54 protection against dust and water jets. It utilizes a G3 class filter mat according to EN779 standards.

Feature Summary

• Vertical EMC filter design for effective noise suppression
• Click-in installation feature for simplified mounting
• Dual voltage capability supporting 115 V and 230 V AC systems

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring EMC compliance
• Electrical enclosures needing IP54 environmental protection
• Mission-critical equipment cooling applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage requirement (115 V or 230 V) as the model number covers both configurations with different power and current ratings. Confirm that the G3 filter rating meets your particulate filtration needs. Ensure the physical dimensions align with the enclosure cutout requirements. Check for any regional certification marks required for your deployment location. Validate the stainless steel construction suitability for your environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when both thermal management and electromagnetic compatibility are required in a single unit. The vertical orientation may dictate mounting space availability. Consider the G3 filter efficiency if higher filtration classes are necessary for dusty environments. Compare the airflow volume against the heat load of the enclosed components. Verify that the click-in mounting method is compatible with the panel thickness.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman EFE series of filter fans. These units are part of a broader range of thermal management solutions offered by the manufacturer. The series is designed to integrate directly into electrical enclosures to maintain internal temperatures while filtering incoming air. The EFE line emphasizes ease of installation and robust construction for industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult official nVent Hoffman catalogs for cross-reference information. Direct replacement requires matching the voltage, airflow, and mounting specifications exactly.
