A fan assembly includes a vibration damping system to reduce induced vibrational energy generated as a result of fan motor operation. The vibration damping system includes a plurality of arms and damping material. The vibration damping system arms extend between a fan motor housing and a shroud assembly disposed circumferentially outward from the fan motor housing. The damping material is attached to an end of each of the vibration damping system arms and connects each arm to the shroud assembly. The damping material absorbs induced vibrational energy generated by fan motor operation.

A circuit board protection system includes a circuit board including at least one edge, an enclosure used to encapsulate the edge, and a seal. The seal encapsulates the edge and prevents liquid from contacting the edge. Accordingly, the circuit board is protected from liquid infiltration at the edge of the board. Additionally, a method for protecting a circuit board, including at least one edge, in a board enclosure includes applying encapsulating material to at least one of the board enclosure and the edge, and positioning the circuit board in the enclosure such that the edge is encapsulated.

A circuit for servicing a load connectable with a power supply is disclosed. The circuit includes a plurality of three-terminal switches and one control supply. The three-terminal switches define a series conduction path connectable between the power supply and the load. Each of the plurality of three terminal switches includes a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal. The control supply is productive of a control voltage and in power connection between the gate terminal and source terminal of each of the plurality of three-terminal switches. Each of the plurality of three-terminal switches is responsive to the control voltage at its respective gate terminal to close a connection between the respective source terminal and respective drain terminal of each of the plurality of three-terminal switches.

An integrated controller/motor energized by a power supply includes a controller that has controller circuits and a pair of controller lead lines connectable in circuit between the power supply and the controller circuits. The integrated controller/motor also includes a motor that has a first motor winding and a second motor winding each in circuit with the controller circuits and a thermal overload sensor located in direct proximity to the first motor winding and the second motor winding. The thermal overload sensor may be connected in series with at least one of the controller lead lines. A method of protecting an integrated controller/motor from thermal overload is also presented.
摘要:
A fan assembly includes a shroud attached to a motor housing to prevent negative pressure from developing within the motor housing and prevent moisture from being drawn into drain openings. The assembly includes a fan, a motor, a motor housing, and a fan control. The motor and fan control are disposed within the motor housing. The motor housing includes drain openings to permit the motor housing to be assembled and to permit moisture to drain to the environment from the motor housing. The shroud is attached downstream from the fan such that the drain openings remain open to the environment.
