A capacitor add torque to an electric motor that is designed to use them, they are called PSC or permanent split capacitor type motors. the capacitors terminals go to the Run and Start windings.

Can you do without a capacitor in a ceiling fan?
No, it is the capacitors effect upon the motor's winding that starts the fan to turn.
What are ceiling fan capacitors for?
There are a variety of capacitor sizes in ceiling fans. The capacitor is dependant upon the characteristics of the fans motor. Whether it is a single speed, two speed or three speed. If you think it is the capacitor at fault for the fan not operating, take the fan down and open it up. This will give you the exact sizing for your fan.See sources and related links below.
How do you connect ceiling fan used at home to a capacitor?
typically, you don't attach capacitors to ceiling fans ( 120V or 240V ). A capacitor would only be used for one of two reasons. 1. to reduce the noise on the AC in your home or 2. to reduce the spikes to your fan... neither of these make any sense.
Internal circuit components of a ceiling fan?
The most important parts of the fan are- 1. Motor (Stator and Rotor) 2. Capacitors 3. Triple Capacitors (to control the voltage entering the motor) 4. Reverse Switch
What type of motor is used in ceiling fan?
single-phase induction motor is used in ceiling fan.
Why do we use capacitors on fan motors?
It stores electricity used as a boost when first starting the fan.
What causes a variable speed ceiling fan from reaching top speed revolutions?
There are 3 capacitors inside the fan, wired to the pull chain switch. one or all of these will be all melted and derformed. replace the damaged capacitors, the values are written right on them. these caps are what control the speed of the fan by limiting voltage to the motor.
Which direction should a ceiling fan go?
A ceiling fan should blow downwards when used with cooling, upward when used with heating.
What type of motor is used in a fan?
A capacitor start motor is used in a ceiling fan.
What kind of motor is used in ceiling fan?
electric
What is a ceiling fan?
It's a fan that hangs from your ceiling.
Where was the ceiling fan invented?
An electric ceiling fan was invented by the man who had engineered the electric motor used in the first Singer sewing machines, Philip Diehl. In 1882 he adapted that motor for use in a ceiling-mounted fan.
