The low-voltage motors with squirrel-cage rotors for implementation in automatic smoke and heat extraction units to EN 12101-3 are mainly designed for driving smoke extraction fans. For this reason, they are known as smoke-extraction motors. They are mainly used in buildings or structures in which smoke control is necessary due to their shape and arrangement.
Temperature/time classification according to EN 12101-3
- F200 corresponds to 200 °C for 120 min
- F300 corresponds to 300 °C for 60 min
- F400 corresponds to 400 °C for 120 min
Testing and test certificates
The smoke-extraction motors are tested by the Research and Testing Laboratory of the Department of Air-Conditioning Systems and Building Services Installations of the Technical University of Munich in accordance with EN 12101-3.
Test conditions for F200/F300:
- Temperature300 °C
- Time120 min
The test certificates are available.
The motors are manufactured with aluminum or cast-iron housings in accordance with the smoke classes. The smoke-extraction motors are based on the standard motors and comprise the following motor types:
-
Temperature/time classes F200 and F300
- Self-ventilated motors - Aluminum series 1LA7 and 1LA5, cast-iron series 1LG6 - Version with integrated fan (metal)

The resonance of mountings and reactions from driven machines can cause high levels of vibration in the overall equipment unit. This has a significant effect on the expected service life of the bearing.
These vibrations are evaluated in accordance with Zones A and B according to ISO 10816.
