Frequently Asked Questions
What is NMB-MAT 5915PC-22T-B30?
NMB-MAT 5915PC-22T-B30 is an AC axial cooling fan from NMB Technologies. The manufacturer-documented standard complete model is 5915PC-22T-B30-B00, rated for 220 VAC at 50Hz or 60Hz. It features a 150 × 172 × 38 mm frame, a capacitor-run induction motor and ball bearing construction.
Is 5915PC-22T-B30 an AC or DC fan?
It is an AC cooling fan designed for a nominal 220 VAC supply. The manufacturer's product pages classify it under AC Axial Fans. It should not be connected to 12 VDC, 24 VDC or 48 VDC fan power circuits or substituted for a DC fan based on similar size or application.
What is the rated voltage and frequency?
The standard 5915PC-22T-B30-B00 operates at 220 VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz. NMB lists a starting voltage of 145 VAC, but that figure does not define the recommended continuous supply voltage. Use the nominal supply rating and confirm that the equipment electrical system matches the full fan model.
What are the dimensions of 5915PC-22T-B30?
The nominal frame dimensions are 150 mm wide, 172 mm high and 38 mm deep. This is not a 150 × 150 mm square fan. The manufacturer drawing shows a rounded flange-type housing and a nominal 152 mm panel opening. Frame shape, mounting-hole locations and available clearance must be checked for replacement installations.
What are the rated current and input power values?
NMB specifies 0.25 A and 42 W at 50Hz, and 0.23 A and 40 W at 60Hz for the standard -B00 model. These power values are manufacturer-published real input ratings. They should not be replaced by simply multiplying AC voltage and RMS current, because power factor affects the relationship between electrical current and real power.
What is the fan speed at 50Hz and 60Hz?
The manufacturer specifies 2650 RPM at 50Hz and 3150 RPM at 60Hz. The operating frequency therefore affects the fan speed and its cooling performance. Replacement selection should preserve the equipment's intended supply frequency and ventilation requirements.
What are the maximum airflow and static pressure specifications?
At 50Hz, the standard -B00 is specified at 189.3 CFM maximum airflow and 127.5 Pa maximum static pressure. At 60Hz, the corresponding ratings are 225.0 CFM and 163.8 Pa. These represent different endpoints of the fan performance curve, not simultaneous maximum airflow and maximum pressure conditions.
What is the noise level of 5915PC-22T-B30?
NMB lists a noise rating of 48 dB at 50Hz and 53 dB at 60Hz for the documented standard configuration. Actual acoustic behavior in an installed enclosure depends on mounting, vibration, ventilation resistance and nearby equipment components.
What motor, bearing and impeller materials are used?
The manufacturer's standard 900 g metal-blade configuration uses a capacitor-run induction motor with thermal protection, ball bearings, a steel impeller and a black-painted aluminum frame. NMB also manufactures plastic-blade 15038PB configurations, but their performance and construction should not be assumed identical to this legacy metal-blade version.
Does 5915PC-22T-B30 have waterproof or IP69K protection?
The standard -B00 model does not have a manufacturer-listed IP69K classification. NMB specifically identifies IP69K protection for the -BM0 and -SM0 full-suffix versions. The suffix must therefore be checked before using the fan in wet, dusty or other demanding environments. An IP rating assigned to a protected configuration should not be applied automatically to the standard fan.
What is the difference between the -B00, -BM0, -S00 and -SM0 versions?
These are separate full-suffix configurations documented by NMB under the 5915PC-22T-B30 family. The -B00 is the standard model. The -BM0 and -SM0 variants carry IP69K ratings in the manufacturer's records. The -S00 is a separately identified configuration with its own part-number conversion. All documented legacy pages list the same principal 50Hz and 60Hz ratings, but environmental protection, termination details and replacement designations should be verified individually.
Is 5915PC-22T-B30 discontinued, and what is its replacement?
NMB identifies the documented legacy configurations as not recommended for new designs, and DigiKey lists the standard -B00 as obsolete. The legacy -B00 product page and historical conversion table identify 15038PB-B2L-EP-00 as a newer part number, while a separate current NMB 15038PB-B2L-EPS-00 product record explicitly lists 5915PC-22T-B30-B00 as its legacy model. The -EPS-00 has the same published 2650/3150 RPM and 189.3/225.0 CFM performance as the legacy -B00, whereas the -EP-00 has different ratings and a plastic impeller. For the protected versions, NMB lists 15038PB-B2L-GP-00 for -BM0, 15038PB-B2L-EP-S0 for -S00 and 15038PB-B2L-GP-S0 for -SM0. Because the standard-model cross-references are inconsistent, verify the intended successor with NMB and compare performance, materials, terminal design, grounding, dimensions and the complete suffix before ordering.
