Advanced PWM 3-Phase Speed Control
The Nova features a three-phase PWM speed controller that adapts to different hardware environments. With three selectable modes, the fan automatically stops when PWM signal drops below 6%, reducing power consumption and noise during idle periods.
Three-Phase Six-Pole Drive Motor Benefits
The advanced motor design delivers greater output power and torque while fully utilizing electrical energy. This reduces energy loss and provides better starting performance, allowing the fan to reach rated speed quickly and improve overall operational efficiency.
Enhanced Stability with Neodymium Magnet
A strong neodymium magnet positioned perpendicular to the shaft effectively mitigates displacement caused by centrifugal force during high-speed operation. This magnetic structure reduces vibration and ensures more stable fan operation even under demanding conditions.
Dustproof Design for Extended Lifespan
The internal drive components are enclosed in a dust-proof structure that prevents debris from entering and corroding electronic parts. This design significantly extends the fan’s operational life and maintains consistent performance over time.
