Ruck 6 Inch Prime EVO EC on a Single Amp
An EC motor is what lets a 6 inch fan pull 482 CFM on a single amp. That efficiency is the whole reason this version sits alongside the AC model. The impeller runs up to 3,693 RPM. Ruck rates the motor IP54 and the terminal box IP44, inside a corrosion-resistant injection moulded housing that shrugs off the damp. At 6.8 lbs it hangs from almost anything a tent frame offers.
Where a 6 Inch EC Inline Duct Fan Fits a Tent
A fan that runs around the clock and gets throttled often is where this earns its price, and a tent exhaust does both. Pair it with the MTP 21, or any 0-10V controller, and the speed changes cleanly. There is none of the hum a triac dimmer puts into an AC motor. The honest counterpoint is cost. This runs to roughly double the AC version for 61 more CFM. The case rests on control quality and running cost rather than raw output. A mounting bracket and a 5.5 ft cord are in the box, with three years of German warranty behind it.
