Electrical Safety
An adequate and safe power supply to the Direct Drive Box Fans is essential for safety. A competent
and qualified electrician must undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be installed according to the
National Standards and Regulations relevant to your Country and Region.
We recommend that the electrical supply to the Direct Drive Box Fans be provided with a single lockable
isolator (not supplied) in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1: 1997. The isolator should meet
the requirements of IEC 60947-3. An isolator is essential for safety. This should be installed as indicated
on the motor diagrams and in accordance with the relevant codes and directives.

Mounting the Direct Drive Box Fans in a poultry house imposes additional load on the building. It is
