Motor Assembly MVG17TRI Friga-Bohn

Friga-Bohn Motor Assembly | MVG17TRI | High-Performance Fan Motor

Product Description

The MVG17TRI is a replacement motor assembly typically found in Friga-Bohn’s larger evaporator ranges, such as the industrial NK or large-scale 3C-E series.

• MVG: Refers to the motor series designed for axial fan configurations in large-diameter shrouds.
• 17: Denotes the power rating/size class (typically correlated with a specific wattage output and fan blade pitch).
• TRI: Indicates a Three-Phase (400V/3/50Hz) electrical configuration. Three-phase motors are preferred in industrial UAE settings for their superior energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and ability to handle the high start-up loads of larger fans.

In the UAE’s industrial sector—ranging from logistics hubs in Jebel Ali to large-scale food processing plants—the MVG17TRI is a critical spare part. Its robust design ensures that air continues to move through massive cooling coils even when the ambient temperature spikes during the peak of summer.

Key Features

• Three-Phase Power Efficiency: Optimized for industrial grids, providing lower operating costs and reduced thermal stress on the motor windings.
• High Torque Output: Capable of driving large-diameter fan blades to deliver the high-velocity air throw needed for expansive cold storage warehouses.
• IP54/IP55 Protection: Built to withstand high humidity and dust ingress, making it highly durable against the harsh environmental conditions of the Middle East.
• Thermal Protection: Often features internal thermal contacts (TK) that can be wired into the control circuit to prevent motor burnout in case of overloading or phase failure.
• Precision Bearings: Equipped with high-grade, lubricated-for-life ball bearings designed for quiet operation and a long service life in continuous-run applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Can I replace a single-phase motor with the MVG17TRI?
  • A: No, this is a three-phase motor. You must have a 400V three-phase electrical supply and the appropriate contactors/overloads in your control panel to use this model.
• Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
  • A: While it has a high IP rating, it is primarily designed to be housed within the fan shroud of an evaporator or condenser unit, providing it with secondary protection from direct rain.
• Q: Why choose the TRI (Three-Phase) version over single-phase?
  • A: For motors of this size, three-phase power is more stable and efficient, leading to fewer motor failures and better performance in large industrial facilities.
