Description
The NMB 12038VA-48R-EL-01 is an ultra-high-output industrial DC axial fan, identified by its “12038” size code, specifically engineered for extreme thermal management in 48V infrastructure. This 120 x 120 x 38 mm unit features a precision dual ball bearing system and a specialized 5-blade high-velocity impeller designed for maximum air displacement. Operating at 48 VDC with a heavy-duty current draw of 0.90 A (43.20 W), it delivers a super-high rotational speed of 5500 RPM, producing a massive 200.30 CFM of airflow. The 3-wire configuration includes a dedicated Speed Sensor (FG) signal for real-time monitoring. Built with a brushless DC motor and advanced electronic protection, this fan is a critical cooling component for enterprise-grade power rectifiers, high-capacity industrial inverters, and outdoor telecommunications cabinets requiring extreme heat dissipation under high static pressure.
