How do you use a ceiling fan?

Answer 1

Ceiling fan is a Single phase Induction motor. Generally we use a capacitor start &Run AC Motor for ceiling Fans.

Motor principle: whenever current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field-it experiences force.

Stator: supplied by 1-phase voltage, current will produce in the stator winding-so magnetic field. But AC motor needs a rotating magnetic field in order turn the motor shaft (fan blades). This is done by applying voltage with different phases to different windings. In a single phase system (like at your house where you would use a ceiling fan) there is only one voltage phase. The capacitor is used to provide a phase shift (i.e. a time offset between currents) in the windings of the motor, making it appear that the motor is operating in a multiphase system.In Simple Terms, A single Phase is Split Into Two. There are also other methods to split Phase But using a capacitor is less expensive.

Now we have magnetic field.

We need current carrying conductor:

Because of Induction, voltage will develop in rotor as It is a closed circuit current will produce-so current carrying conductor placed in magnetic field.

Rotor will rotate.

Answer 2

The angle of pitch of the fan blade in relationship to the air it is moving through forces the air to move along the blade angle surface depending on the rotational direction of the blade. To reverse the rotation of the blades there should be a reversing switch on the fan body. Remember in the winter time your ceiling fan should push the room air in an upwards motion and in the summertime the ceiling fan should push the room air in a downwards motion.

Answer 4

Fans don't cool the air; they actually make it a little warmer. By causing more air to cross the surface of your skin, fans increase the rate of evaporation of your perspiration. The process of evaporation draws heat from your body, making you feel cooler. The less water vapor that is in the air, the more rapidly the body cools.

Answer 5

A ceiling fan moves air just like other fans.

Answer 6

The ceiling fan motor is that of a single phase induction motor. Force is exerted when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, which makes the blades of the fan to rotate.

Answer 7

motor used in fan is universal motor, which can work both on Ac or Dc . The working principle is similar to the ordinary motor

Answer 8

In order to use a ceiling fan a person just needs to turn the ceiling fan on. Some ceiling fans are turned on by flipping of a switch. For some, you need to pull the chain of the ceiling fan.
