Low-voltage Fire gas motors

Based on the proven and tested basic design and construction of the VEM asynchronous motor series, a type series intended for use in mechanical smoke or heat venting and extraction systems has been developed through purposefully modified insulation systems, bearings and connections.

Under normal conditions, fire gas motors operate as conventional fan motors and are designed such that, in the event of fire, they should operate under strongly increased temperatures for a certain period of time as specified by the customer, and are then allowed to fail. These motors were subjected to severe testing even in the design stage whereby emergencies were largely simulated.
