What is the max voltage on these? My inverter runs at 13.1 volts. Will that burn this fan up or can it handle it?

This Fan's voltage range is listed on the package as "voltage range 4.5~13vdc". Based on that range, 13 volts DC is the max it can handle. Provided that your inverter's output is at a stable 13.1 Volts DC, then 13.1 volts is overrange by one tenth of a volt. Is that enough to kill it? Probably not, but use at your own risk, or ask the manufacturer directly.

I disagree with MicroSolar, and agree with James H., I have a 675 watt fridge, and my inverter kicks the compressor over just fine with a 2500watt peak at the beggining, but i have overkill wiring, fat 4gauage more like 2awg. And the run (circuit legnth Pos + Neg) is 2 feet... Might wanna check your wiring before buying a bigger model, though your fridge could be more power hungry....

Wattage = Volts x Amps. The sticker on the bottom of the fan shows that it is 120 V and 0.50 Amps = 60 Watts (maximum wattage). If you are traveling, you will need a voltage *transformer*. I'm pretty sure a voltage converter won't cut it for the Vornado 660 since it has electronic components that could get blown out. It would be a good idea to get a transformer with at least twice the wattage of the fan.

Do not plug it in to 220V. The unit is not constant power but power is derived from the inductance of the unit. At 60 HZ the inductance is fixed. Double the voltage and you'll potentially quadruple the power and fry the fan. A little theory is dangerous. Get the right fan for your electricity or get a 220 to 110 transformer.

I don't know much about profession grade fans so I can't really advise you. If it's 220-240 you definitely cannot. But if it's 110-120 you should be able too. But that's how I think and that's how I would make my decision. Honestly I only bought it to replace an existing broken one. And I realized that I had a fan that had a broken casing so to avoid a leak I bought a fan that had one built in.

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

My grid tie 300 watt inverter is connected to two 150 watt 22 volt panels. Working just fine at that voltage. The previous one burnt out with three panels connected to it. Apparently the voltage and amperage had increased when at full sun. I would consider de-rating all voltage values to 80 percent on any inverter you purchase.

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

Sorry, I'm using fan controller. I don't recall how many amps the MB header will handle, but that might be an issue for some if using just one header for all. Check out this thread, it may help. GL! :) http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=2012030

For future projects you can use Volts x Amps = Watts. Since I have the back of the box, the Fan is 12 Volts x .4Amps = 4.8 watts, or LOL, could look right below that to check the answer printed just below which says just that. Good Luck!

hi i tried the aims 5000watt 240v it is only 240 on one side it is not 240 as we would know it for a house elect. system. i found this out the hard way i blew half of my house out! plus the amp of this is only 30 amps would not evan start my air compresor. the best inverter for your buck (and i tried mahy of them for 15 years) is a wagon inverter they seem to hold up a lot better under rough power draws. they are also a little easyer on the pocket book.i hope this will help you. i have found this all out by trial and eare i can not spell sorry.if you have any more? just ask.

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OK but if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

The fan runs often and is somewhat noisy. More than that, the 400 W uses up battery very quickly. If you could power your lights with a 150 W inverter, I would recommend the 150 W Tripp Lite (red) which works great and is totally silent. It did not drain down the battery so fast.

No, actually there is not. What you have is in effect a local source of 120VAC, isolated from the power grid and from ground. I'm not sure what would happen if you grounded the output outlet. It might short the inverter circuitry to ground and cause a failure.

These fans are 12/24 DC, so you will need an AC-to-DC transformer between them and the AC outlet. The good news about this, however, is that the AC current draw will be VERY low.

not real sure what you are wanting to know but will give it a shot. It says on the fan motor 120V. Hope that's what you are wanting to know.

The internal fan is very quite but not up to the task of high loads (20+ amps) for long periods. I hooked a 120mm 12v computer fan up to the terminals and just place it on top of the unit with the fan pulling air through the power supply and out the fan. I can touch the rear heat sink now when I have heavy loads, before it was way to hot. 12 volt computer fans can handle voltage from 6-15v just fine. Just a tip.
