Efficient 24 V DC Ventilation for Outdoor Electrical Cabinets
The Finder 7F.30.9.024.3100 is designed to support temperature control in electrical enclosures containing heat-generating equipment such as PLCs, power supplies, contactors, motor controllers and electronic automation devices. Its powered fan draws ambient air through the filter assembly, helping establish airflow through the cabinet and dissipate accumulated heat.
With a nominal free-air capacity of 100 m³/h, the fan provides approximately 75 m³/h when used with a compatible exhaust filter under the manufacturer's stated test conditions. Actual airflow depends on enclosure resistance, filter condition and installation arrangement. The fan should be selected according to the cabinet heat load and surrounding ambient temperature.
The 7F.30 outdoor construction incorporates protection features suitable for demanding installations, including IP54 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance and an operating temperature range extending down to −30 °C. Its replaceable G3 filter mat and convenient push-in electrical terminals help simplify servicing while maintaining reliable enclosure ventilation.
