Automatic Air Conditioning
BLOWER MOTOR
Description
BLOWER MOTOR
- The blower motor is installed in the RH side of A/C unit assembly.
- The blower motor adopts the forcible air cooling system and one touch installation system without any screws.
POWER TRANSISTOR
- The power transistor attached to A/C unit assembly.
- The power transistor controls the transmitting voltage to blower motor base on the gate voltage from A/C auto amp.
- The power transistor is set for low voltage drop, therefore it does not require high relay while transmitting max voltage to blower motor.
