Abstract
An assembly includes a fan housing that includes a casing and a stator disposed radially inward of the casing and adapted to receive a rotor assembly. Struts attach the stator to the casing. One or more of the struts may define a channel for routing one or more electrical wires. A fan guard helps prevent accidental contacting of the fan blades. The fan guard may be mounted to the struts and may be flush with the housing, and/or may be adapted to cover at least a portion of the channel, thereby trapping the electrical wire(s) in the channel.
