XPOWER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about XPOWER from 3G Electric.
What filter sizes are available for XPOWER negative air machines?
XPOWER negative air machine filters are supplied in several nominal sizes and types. Pad-type pre-filters are available in 13 in x 13 in x 5/8 in and 9 in x 9 in x 5/8 in sizes, with a 700 cfm maximum airflow rating. Rigid-cell replacement filters measure 13 in x 13 in x 5/8 in and are used with models such as the X-2480A. A 1-stage mini-pleat filter with 13 in x 13 in nominal dimensions is rated to 2,000 cfm maximum airflow and is compatible with the X-2580. Because fit varies by machine model, confirm the model number before ordering.
What are the power requirements for the XPOWER X-2580 negative air machine?
The XPOWER X-2580 operates on 115V AC and draws approximately 2.8 A under normal running conditions. It provides 550 cfm airflow and uses activated carbon adsorption combined with particulate filtration. The unit weighs 23.6 lb and has a lightweight aluminum housing, which allows one person to move it between rooms or containment zones. The 115V AC requirement means it can be powered from standard North American branch circuits, which is relevant when planning temporary power for restoration or abatement work. Verify circuit capacity if multiple units will run on the same circuit.
What is the difference between the XPOWER FA-300K and FA-420K2 wall-mount fans?
Both are non-oscillating wall-mount warehouse dock fans operating on 115V AC. The FA-300K has a 14-inch blade diameter, a polyethylene housing, and four selectable speeds. The FA-420K2 uses a 1/3 hp motor, an ABS housing, and five selectable speeds. The FA-420K2 provides a higher motor rating and an additional speed setting, while the FA-300K is specified with a 14-inch blade. Selection depends on the required air throw, mounting location, and the number of speed steps needed for the space. Both are intended for fixed installation in warehouses, loading docks, and industrial areas.
What is the XPOWER 8-inch flexible duct used for?
The XPOWER 8-inch outside diameter vinyl flexible duct is used with negative air machines and portable air cleaners to exhaust or supply air. In restoration and remediation work, it connects to a machine to direct filtered air out of a containment area or to draw air in, helping control pressure differentials. The duct is compatible with units such as the XPOWER X-8 portable air cleaner. Vinyl construction keeps the duct lightweight and flexible for routing around obstacles. Confirm the machine outlet size and required duct length before ordering, and inspect the duct for damage between jobs.
How do I match a pre-filter to an XPOWER negative air machine?
Matching a pre-filter to an XPOWER negative air machine requires the machine model number and the filter's nominal dimensions. For example, the 13 in x 13 in x 5/8 in pad-type pre-filter is compatible with the X-2580, while the 9 in x 9 in x 5/8 in pad-type pre-filter is used with other XPOWER models. Pre-filters capture large airborne particles before they reach the main filter, which helps extend main filter life. Because nominal dimensions can be similar across models, verify compatibility against the machine's manual or the filter's listed model compatibility before purchase.
What airflow ratings do XPOWER negative air machines and filters carry?
Airflow ratings vary by component. The XPOWER X-2580 negative air machine provides 550 cfm. Pad-type pre-filters for negative air machines are rated to 700 cfm maximum airflow. The 1-stage mini-pleat air filter is rated to 2,000 cfm maximum airflow. These ratings describe the maximum airflow the component can handle, not the delivered airflow of a complete machine, which depends on the specific unit, filter load, and duct configuration. When specifying filters, select a rating at or above the machine's airflow to avoid restricting performance. Confirm the machine model and filter part number before ordering.
