45 1 Scope
46 EN 50216-12 deals with fans for oil-to-air coolers used for transformers as well as fans used for
47 blowing out radiators. Only fans operating axially are dealt with in this standard specification.
48 This standard specification defines the dimensions and requirements for ensuring fan
49 interchangeability and uniform fan assembly.

57 3.1
58 drive
59 depending on the specification the motor used to drive the fan wheel can be either a three-phase a.c.
60 motor, an a.c. motor or a d.c. motor. The motor is mounted rigidly in the housing
61 3.2
62 connection box
63 the electrical connection between the external power supply (and control system if this exists) and the
64 internal connection is made in the terminal box. The terminal board is located in the connection box
65 3.3
66 housing
67 the housing is used for attaching the fan to the radiator or cooler; the housing also supports the motor.
68 In addition the protective grating and / or basket guard is / are attached to it
69 3.4
70 fan wheel
71 the fan wheel is mounted rigidly on the motor axle / rotor
72 3.5
73 protective grating / basket guard
74 the protective grating or basket guard is used to prevent accidental contact with the rotating parts.
75 Furthermore, the protective grating or basket guard also prevents large foreign bodies from coming
76 into contact with the parts
77 4 Requirements
78 4.1 Rated values
79 The following designations are used:
80 -F [Hz] = frequency;
88 - psF [Pa] = maximum static pressure which the fan can produce, in producing static
89 pressure volume flow is reduced;
90 - LWA [dB(A)] = A-weighted sound power level of a fan during free blowing;
104 Condensation water and any other intrusive water must be able to run off without any damaging effect.
105 This applies to both horizontal and vertical mounting of the fan (blowing upwards). The bearings of the
106 motor must be made in such a way that they are able to guarantee a trouble- and maintenance-free
107 running time (continuous operation) of at least 4 years (at least 3 years for four-pole operation) or
108 rather as agreed upon.
109 The connecting lead between the winding space of the motor and the cable compartment of the
110 terminal box can be run on both the inside and the outside.
115 Each of the terminals must be suitable for holding down two 2,5 mm² leads at I < 1,5 A. At I > 1,5 A
116 each terminal must be suitable for holding down two 4 mm² leads.
117 The earthing screw in the connection box must be easily accessible.
118 Captive screws must be used for the cover of the connection box.
119 Screwed cable glands (at least 2) as per EN 50262 made from nickel-plated brass are to be used for
120 the connecting lead inlet.
121 The cover seal must be secured using suitable measures so that overpressing or slipping is prevented
122 at all times.
127 The direction of air flow (in connection with the rotational direction) is to be indicated on the housing
128 using a durable marking (can also be combined with the rating plate).
137 The protective grating or the basket guard is to be rigidly mounted on the housing.

connections:
Screws, washers, nuts, Stainless steel, e.g. A2-70 in accordance with EN ISO 3506-1
except for electrical
connections:
143 • The vibration severity determined at the outer perimeter of the fan housing in accordance with
144 ISO 14694 (BV - 3) or ISO 10816-1 (class 1 zone B).
148 At the same time the necessary environmental conditions are to be observed.
150 5 Identification
151 5.1 Specifications for the fan rating plate
152 • The fans must have a clearly visible all-weather rating plate displaying the ratings for 50 Hz and/or
153 60 Hz operation.
154 • Type designation and serial number of the manufacturer and year of manufacture
159 • It must be evident from the rating plate whether or not there is an internal, thermal circuit breaker
160 present, which will disconnect the current in the event of a fault.
161 • A direction arrow indicating the direction of air-flow (in connection with the rotational direction)
162 must either be attached to the rating plate or mounted in its immediate vicinity (see 4.6).
165 A separate rating plate for the motor must be attached to the fan housing if this is specified in the
166 order.
168 6 Tests
169 6.1 General
170 The tests are to be carried out at the fully assembled fan (with protective grating).
171 Performance measurements (volume flow, static pressure, active-power input and rotational speed)
172 are to be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 5801.
175 Test object: fan (total noise during free suction and free blowing).
176 The buyer and manufacturer are to agree upon special tests e.g. frequency analysis.
177 NOTE The sound power level of transformer is measured according to EN 60076-10.
181 • Current
187 Fans must be dispatched in such a way that no damage and contamination can occur.
188 The fan must also be suitable for outdoor storage without having to take a certain position into
189 account.
190 NOTE In principle the instruction of the supplier should be taken into account.
