I would like to connect this panel to a small ventilator motor for my loft, will it work? do I need anything else between panel and motor?

It really depends on the ventilator motor and there are a few things to consider. First off is it a DC motor? If not, you'll need a inverter to convert DC power to AC. If the motor is DC, you'll need to make sure it can operate in the voltage range of the panel. The optimal operating voltage of this panel is 17.8 volts and if your motor is rated for 12 volts, for example, you'll need a voltage regulator. Probably the most important thing to consider is if the motor requires more than 50 watts of power. If it does, whether AC or DC, this panel alone will not power the motor. To answer you question requires more information about the motor you want to power. It really depends on the ventilator motor and there are a few things to consider. First off is it a DC motor?

Yes it will work, however I would recomend a charge controller and Battery to do two things 1. regulate the voltage going to the fan motor(charge controller) the panel in full sun puts out more than 12V, potentially burning out the motor. 2. give the fan steady power if clouds shadow the panel(battery).

Yes this is the same speed controller you need for vortex fans. I'm using it currently on the 8" s-line fan with brushless motor. this controller is what is recommended to use by atmosphere.

I ordered mine based on the model number of my old motor. So it matched up just fine. I have a thermostat box with the original fan. The thermostat box acts as a junction box also. The two strand wire is connected to the power line with wire nuts in the thermostat box. White to white black to black.

Yes, I think so. The motor and blower are small, about 2" to 2 1/2" dia. It would work if you have a small room to move air through, but if it is a large room I would go with a larger blower.

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

I cannot be certain, but the general rule is black to black, however if you look at your old motor you should be able to see which wire goes to the cage or shell of the unit. That is your ground to complete the circuit. Your new fan should not be too hard to tell either. It has been a while since I installed mine so I this may not be much help, sorry.

Charles, I used this motor for my 13,500 BTU Coleman AC and it works just fine. You may want to check the Fasco web site for more info.

I bought it for a Honeywell zone valve. I would guess that it would work for your application, but can't guarantee it without seeing the flue damper control and how the motor would attach.

A fan is a fan as long as it meets the specs and there is not a major size difference 95% of the time they are interchangeable. Fan and motor housings are common spec'd. This has an extra long spindle so it will work pretty much universal. Other thing to watch for is rotatation. Some can be wired either and some are hard wired in one direction.Good luck. This worked for my older Rheem perfect.

Sorry but I can't find that anywhere on the motor or in the installation sheet. There are several things missing from the info they give you. Also the sizing they recommend is based on square footage, but should be on the cubic footage of the area to be vented. My fan works great, but does not adequately vent my attic despite what they state. I had to add 2 more box fans in order to get enough venting.

Should work it is pushing the controller hard but I am doing (1) 255 watt panel with a 12 volt system and works fine good luck.Lon

This will work with Induction type motors, it will cut the speed. We used it to cut the speed on a dryer rack, no problem.

Interested also in a pulled air configuration. I want to use is as a whole house fan in my master bed which has a gable interior wall to attic. Im thinking of using a very breathable filter/foam material before the motor instead of this vent on the pulled side. The material will be visible inside the bedroom. On the pushed air side (inside attic) I will use this vent.

Based on how well it worked with the fan motor... I'd say no! This isn't a scientific response but rather what I observed with the fan motor. The controller simply isn't very precision and I think it has wide swings in voltage... in other words you couldn't fine tune it. I think it would very quickly smoke the motor in the vacuum. Again this is simply my observations on how it performed with my electric fan motor which was pretty small and didn't draw many amps.....

This may or may not work,I recommend a larger panel as this panel only puts out about 0.7 to 0.85 amps under typical conditions.

It will connect in every way, but the Hobart and Miller use differing wire feed motor voltages, so the wire speed will be goofy if you install either on the other.

These panels connections connect to each other in parallel. All you need is 2 cable to connect to the controller. You don't need anything. Good luck
