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


On which current does fan rotate?

Most fans operate on an alternating current (AC) as it is the standard electrical power supply in homes and buildings. However, some fans, like those in vehicles or powered by batteries, may operate on direct current (DC).


Is the current in my house for a light AC?

Yes, the current used by a typical light fixture in a house is alternating current (AC). This type of current is commonly used for household electrical systems as it can easily be converted to different voltages using transformers.


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.


What are the advantages of using a DC motor in a ceiling fan compared to a traditional AC motor?

DC motors in ceiling fans offer advantages such as energy efficiency, quieter operation, and variable speed control compared to traditional AC motors.


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.
