What is the current rating and voltage rating of the ceiling fan?
15 amps 120 volts AC
Is the current in my house for a light AC?
Yes, assuming the light is attached to a fan a ceiling, or plugged into a wall.
What is the type of current ceiling fans produce?
I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but.. AC-Alternating current. Electricity flows through a circuit in one direction, then changes direction and goes back the other way. This happens 60 times per second in the US. (60Hz) The US power distribution system is AC. DC-Direct Current. Electricity flows through a circuit in only one direction continuously. Batteries powering a flashlight, for example, are DC. Well, all batteries are DC. Like I said, I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but the DC fan's motor is designed to run on DC (such as batteries) only, and the AC fan motor is designed to run on AC only. I have heard however of a solar powered attic ventilator, which would be a DC fan. If there is a DC ceiling fan, however, keep in mind it needs a power source, and you won't be able to hook it up to the electrical box in the ceiling. That box is AC. The power source for a DC ceiling fan is likely replaceable batteries or solar cells, neither of which will make for a very robust fan.
Is the motor in a ceiling fan ac or dc?
is AC, bro...
Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?
AC
Does an ac need a working outside fan to operate a furnace?
yes.
What motor can only operate on alternative current?
The name of the motor that can only operate on alternative current is called the AC motor. The AC motor consists of 2 basic parts with a rotor that is attached to the output shaft.
Can an AC water heater be converted to operate on DC current?
An AC water heater can be converted to operate on DC current but the cost will be large. In the electrical trade anything can be done if enough money is spent to get the results that are requested.
Is galvanometer generator alternating current or direct current needed to operate an electric motor?
That depends if it is an ac or dc motor.
Printers and scanners are powered by AC power or by using an AC adapter that converts power to?
Most if not all home electronics, of any type, use DC (Direct Current). Very few things actually require AC (alternating current) in a home. Things that normally use AC are simple motors such as: Washing Machine, Can Opener, Blow Dryer, Heat & Air Conditioning systems, Ceiling Fan, Fans generally.
Is fan operating in ac voltage?
A fans blades are driven by motors. Since there are both AC and DC motors, fans can be AC or DC. The fans in your computer are DC fans. Your ceiling fans are AC fans. (Thanks for fixing my answer)
How do you installing a ceiling fan on 14 foot ceilings?
Yes. Most ceiling fans have parts that let you either put the fan close to the ceiling (which is typical for an 8' ceiling) or let it hang down farther from the ceiling. All my ceilings are 8' and I have 4 ceiling fans in 4 different rooms and they work good by letting me reduce my AC usage, which is much more expensive.
