Understand how to maximize stability

Motor with outer rotor design are intrinsically prone to mechanical instability. Fans and compressors can stall (an aerodynamic instability phenomenon). Levitronix BFS are therefore susceptible to both. To maximize performance and uptime, it is important to understand sources and consequences of instability.

In this lesson you will learn…

• …why a minimum system load is needed for stability
• …what’s aerodynamic stall, how it onsets and propagates
• …what’s the best way to install a fan in a setup to ensure stability
