Eaton SFS5P-B Fan Speed Controller - cULus Listed
Part Number: SFS5P-B
Quick Summary
The Eaton SFS5P-B fan speed controller is designed to modulate enclosure and equipment fans on 120 V single‑phase systems for reliable cooling. Many industrial installations contend with wasted energy, excessive noise, and uneven cooling when fans run at fixed speeds. This device carries a cULus Listed safety certification, aligning with UL electrical standards and industrial safety expectations, while supporting 60 Hz operation and standard wiring practices. The no neutral requirement, combined with a compact flush mount and straightforward wiring, reduces installation time and material costs. In practical terms, engineers gain precise control, reduced energy consumption, and improved equipment longevity, while procurement benefits from a familiar, widely supported control solution that fits common electrical panels and enclosures.

FAQs
Yes. The SFS5P-B is specified for #14‑12 AWG wiring and uses back and side wiring with flush mounting, which simplifies retrofits in standard electrical panels. This compatibility reduces the need for wire adapters and minimizes modification work, speeding up installation and ensuring solid electrical contact for long-term reliability.
The device operates at 120 V, 60 Hz, single‑phase with a 5 A load rating. It supports a single-pole, three-way configuration and three-way operation, allowing flexible speed control while maintaining a simple wiring scheme and predictable performance in most industrial fan applications.
Yes. With 120 V single‑phase operation, 60 Hz capability, and a no-neutral requirement, the SFS5P-B is well-suited for commercial HVAC fan control and equipment cooling in enclosures and process equipment. Its compact form factor and ease of wiring help minimize installation time and facilitate scalable cooling management across facilities.
The SFS5P-B carries the cULus Listed certification, indicating compliance with UL electrical safety standards for both US and Canadian markets. This certification supports safer field installations, helps with regulatory approvals, and strengthens procurement confidence for regulated industrial environments.
By enabling precise fan speed control and eliminating the need for neutrals, the SFS5P-B reduces energy consumption and wear on fans, lowering operating costs and maintenance frequency. The simplified wiring and compact mounting also decrease installation time during initial deployment or future upgrades, contributing to faster project ROI.
