Delta PWM Fan Control Advantages

The document discusses pulse width modulation (PWM) technology used in Delta fans. PWM regulates voltage between fully on and off to control fan speed, reducing power loss. Delta fans with internal PWM control have advantages over external control like wider frequency range and lower vibration. The document compares internal and external PWM fan curves.

Delta’s thermal technology continues to provide a variety of advantages over external PWM-
better performance, high reliability and cost-effective controlled devices:
thermal cooling solutions. PWM is one of the primary r Wide PWM frequency range input

other manufacturers.
r Lower vibration at lower duty cycle
The PWM Advantage r Prevent spike current on fan speed control
PWM regulates the voltage signal between fully on r Better motor efficiency
and fully off, controlling the speed of a fan. The main r Lower fan switching noise
advantage is that power loss in the switching device
is very low. When a switch is off, there is practically no
current, and when it is on, there is almost no voltage
drop across the switch. Therefore, power loss is
close to zero.
