Middle Atlantic BGR Series 276CFM FAN TOP EU Compatible - BGR-276FT-K-EU

Middle Atlantic BGR-276FT-K-EU 276 CFM Active Fan Top for BGR Series Racks — EU Voltage

The Middle Atlantic BGR-276FT-K-EU is an active fan top assembly designed to mount directly on BGR series rack enclosures and move 276 CFM of exhaust air using 4-inch fans powered from 200–240V AC mains — the EU-compatible variant for international deployments outside North America. If you're building out a BGR rack in a European facility, a UAE data closet, or any site running 50Hz/230V infrastructure, the BGR-276FT-K-EU is the correct fan top to specify rather than adapting a North American unit.

Key Features

• 276 CFM Active Airflow: Moving 276 cubic feet of air per minute is enough to keep a fully populated 2–3U of active switching, NVR storage, or network appliances within thermal limits in a sealed or semi-sealed rack environment. Passive convection in a closed rack tops out at roughly 50–80 CFM under load — this unit more than triples that throughput, which matters when you're stacking PoE switches, recorders, and encoders in a single enclosure.
• 200–240V AC Input, 12VDC Fan Rail: Accepts the full EU mains range (200–240V AC), converts internally to a regulated 12VDC fan rail. No external power brick or voltage adapter required — plug directly into a 230V circuit and commission immediately. This eliminates a common field problem where North American fan tops shipped internationally require step-down transformers that add cost, bulk, and another failure point.
• 4-Inch Fan Array: The 4-inch (10.2 cm) fan format balances airflow volume against acoustic footprint. Larger fans at lower RPM move more air more quietly than an equivalent array of 60mm fans running full tilt — relevant in wiring closets or smaller comms rooms where ambient noise matters to facilities teams.
• Active (Non-Controlled) Operation: The BGR-276FT-K-EU runs at fixed speed — no fan controller is included and the unit is not thermally controlled. Fans run at full CFM whenever powered. This is a deliberate tradeoff: simpler, no controller to fail, no firmware to update, but you don't get variable-speed quiet operation during low-load periods. If thermal modulation is a requirement, pair this with an external fan speed controller (sold separately) that supports 12VDC fan rails.
• EU Plug Type, SAA-Rated: Ships with an EU plug and carries SAA (Standards Australia) approval, making it suitable for EU and Australian/New Zealand electrical environments. The CE and REACH markings confirm compliance with EU product safety and chemical substance directives — required for commercial installation in most European countries.
• Dimensional Fit for BGR Enclosures — 22.38
