REVOLUTION 200 VECTOR EC

Description

Revolution 200 Vector EC is a high-performance EC (electronically commutated) mixed-flow inline fan from Revolution Fans, delivering powerful extraction in a 200mm housing with the variable speed, energy efficiency, and quiet operation that EC motor technology provides. We have been recommending Revolution EC fans to UK growers since 2017 as the benchmark for inline fan performance and reliability in professional indoor growing environments — Revolution’s engineering quality and the inherent advantages of EC motor technology combine to deliver a fan that outperforms AC alternatives across every meaningful metric.

Why the Revolution 200 Vector EC Is Superior to AC Inline Fans

EC fans represent a genuine technological advancement over conventional AC motor fans for grow room applications. The electronically commutated motor uses feedback from a rotor position sensor to optimise the switching of current through the motor windings, achieving a significantly higher efficiency than AC induction motors — particularly important at partial speeds where AC motors lose efficiency disproportionately. This means EC fans use less electricity at every speed setting, reducing operating costs across a full growing year. EC motors also generate less heat at partial speeds, reducing the fan’s own contribution to room temperature. The variable speed capability of EC fans is genuinely stepless — unlike AC fans with fixed speed taps, EC fans can be set to any point in their speed range, giving precise airflow control for temperature and humidity management. The Revolution 200 Vector EC delivers this performance in a robust, professionally built housing designed for continuous operation over multiple years of grow room service.

How to Install the Revolution 200 Vector EC

Mount in your ductwork using 200mm METU clamps for airtight connections to your carbon filter and exhaust ducting. The fan operates in any orientation. Connect a compatible EC controller to the control port for external speed management, or use the onboard speed adjustment for manual control. Set speed to achieve the target negative pressure and climate conditions, beginning at 60% speed and adjusting as required. Combine with Revolution’s vibration-isolating mounting bracket and rubber duct couplings for maximum noise reduction. Inspect and clean the impeller every 3–6 months.

Pair the Revolution 200 Vector EC with a Can-Lite 200mm carbon filter, rubber duct couplings, Phonic Trap acoustic ducting, and a Revolution or GAS EC controller for a complete, professional low-noise extraction system. Browse our full Revolution fan range.
