FAQ

Q.

What is the working principle of an EC Motor?

A.

An EC (Electronically Commutated) motor works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy through built in electronics that control speed and torque. It uses back EMF or sensors to adjust performance and maintain constant airflow efficiently.

Q.

What is an EC Motor used for in HVAC systems?

A.

In HVAC, EC Motors are used in condenser fans, blowers, furnaces, and air handling units. LG EC Motors provide quiet, energy efficient operation in systems ranging from 1/3HP to 1HP.

Q.

How does an EC motor maintain constant airflow?

A.

An EC Motor maintains constant airflow by adjusting speed and torque based on static pressure changes using internal control algorithms, ensuring stable air delivery.

Q.

What are the benefits of using an EC motor in HVAC?

A.

EC motors offer energy savings, quieter operation, longer lifespan, and precise airflow control making them ideal for modern, high efficiency HVAC systems.
