PATTERSON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PATTERSON from 3G Electric.
What blade diameters are available in the PATTERSON V Series HVLS ceiling fans?
The PATTERSON V Series includes HVLS ceiling fans with blade diameters of 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft, and 24 ft. Airflow ratings range from 19,880 cfm for the 8 ft models to 420,000 cfm for the 24 ft models. Each diameter is available in specific voltage and phase configurations, such as 220V single-phase, 230V three-phase, and 460V three-phase. The model number typically indicates blade diameter and supply voltage, for example V8A-220 or V24B-460. When selecting a fan, match the blade diameter to the ceiling height and floor area to achieve the desired air movement without exceeding structural or electrical limits.
What are the power requirements for PATTERSON HVLS ceiling fans?
PATTERSON V Series HVLS ceiling fans operate on AC power in single-phase or three-phase configurations. Common supply voltages include 220V, 230V, and 460V. Current draw depends on the model and speed setting; for example, 8 ft units draw 10/5/3 A, 12 ft and 16 ft units draw 14/7.8/5 A, and 24 ft units draw 11/7.5 A. The fans feature variable speed control, which allows the motor to operate at different current levels as speed is adjusted. Verify that the available power supply matches the fan's voltage and phase requirements before installation. For three-phase models, confirm phase rotation and balance.
Are PATTERSON HVLS ceiling fans supplied with light kits?
PATTERSON V Series HVLS ceiling fans are supplied without light kits. The product data for models such as the 12 ft and 8 ft units explicitly states that no light kit is included. This configuration keeps the fan assembly dedicated to air movement and reduces the number of electrical connections required at the ceiling. If lighting is needed in the same area, separate fixtures can be specified and installed independently. For applications where a combined fan and light unit is preferred, check the PATTERSON catalog for other product families or contact 3G Electric for available options.
What airflow can a PATTERSON 24 ft HVLS ceiling fan deliver?
A PATTERSON 24 ft HVLS ceiling fan from the V Series delivers 420,000 cfm of airflow. This is the highest airflow rating in the V Series range. The 24 ft models are available in 230V three-phase and 460V three-phase configurations, with current ratings of 11/7.5 A. These fans are intended for very large open spaces such as warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing plants where a single unit can cover a significant floor area. The variable speed control allows the airflow to be adjusted to suit different operational needs, from low-speed air circulation to higher-speed cooling.
How does 3G Electric support the PATTERSON product line?
3G Electric stocks more than 180 PATTERSON SKUs, including HVLS ceiling fans, pedestal fans, and wall-mount units. The catalog provides technical data such as airflow, voltage, phase, current draw, and blade diameter to assist with specification and procurement. 3G Electric ships PATTERSON products globally and can support buyers in matching models to their power supply and facility requirements. For applications requiring additional documentation or model selection assistance, contact 3G Electric directly. The product data is drawn from manufacturer specifications and is intended for technical evaluation.
What are typical applications for PATTERSON HVLS ceiling fans?
PATTERSON HVLS ceiling fans are used in large enclosed spaces where air stratification, heat accumulation, or humidity can affect operations. Typical applications include warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and other industrial facilities. The V Series models, with blade diameters from 8 ft to 24 ft, can be selected based on ceiling height and floor area. These fans move large volumes of air at low speeds, which can help maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels, improve worker comfort, and reduce energy consumption associated with conventional HVAC systems. They are also used in agricultural buildings, gymnasiums, and commercial spaces with high ceilings.
