If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
How do you connect a fan capacitor?
A: practically all capacitors will have an indication of polarity, it maybe a bar or sign or even a color code to signify the potential polarity to be applied to that terminal. There are however non polarized capacitors that will allow either polarity to be applied to either terminal
What will happen if higher rating capacitor is used in fan?
It will rotate faster.Since the fan is not designed for this, it will progressively ruin it.
Can a start and run capacitor be replaced in an inexpensive household fan?
yes
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 fix the run capacitor on a ceiling fan?
Be certain to observe the exact same polarity as the old one. A capacitor does have plus and minus leads. Should an old defective ceiling fan transformer be replaced by a capacitor?
What causes fan to run in reverse?
(1)What happens when polarity of the fan is reversed? It depends upon your definitions of reversal of capacitor,in a series circuit reversing a capacitor in the actual sense means not a mechanical reversal by changing its metal leads,its just reversing the current direction in the capacitor. (2)Now next question is does fan capacitor have a polarity? Ofcourse it has,all capacitors have polarity,but fans capacitor is not electrolytic capacitor,so it doesnt have inbuilt polarity. (3)How we recognize the polarity of capacitor of a ceiling fan? Since it doesnt have inbulid polarity,the direction of the current entering the mesh determines positive polarity and current leaving is assumed as negative polarity.while doing mathematical analysis we can take any convention it will not affects the magnitude since we are taking modulus in calculations. (4)Final Assumption reveling the facts about fans reverse rotation If we connect the fan in such a way that currrent is leaving or reversing the direction of current,the capacitor polarity changes and fan will rotate in reverse(since it is a single phase induction motor{note: rotating magnetic field and working of fan}),need of the capacitor is it gives the initial torque and technically improves the power factor,capacitor charges and discharges with respect to the frequency of the ac and gives the stability to the system,its efficiency will be lower and speed reduces if we remove the capacitor theoratically,so finally you can say the fan rotates reverse if we change the polarity of the capacitor(indirect meaning of changing direction of current).if you want any simple mathematical analysis of the detailed explanation,mail me at "ellipsis047@gmail.com" or call me 07259434969 "Sreenath SM(India)".i can make you understand the basis of all analog and electrical circuits.
How capacitor is connected in a table fan?
The Capacitor with running winding is connected in parallel with main winding.

What type of induction motor is used in table fan?
Motor used in Table Fan is Split phase Motor(Continuous Running with Capacitor).It has Two winding Running coil + Starting Coil. Running coil connected Direct to Supply Starting coil Connected is series with capacitor than parallel with power.
Why use capacitors on fan motors?
capacitor stores charge ,so we use capacitor in fan for continuous voltage supply.
What is the basic working principle of fan?
CAPACITOR STRAT AND capacitor run of a induction motor
Capacitor?
capacitor is a power cell used to generate electricity in the motor of ceiling fan
Should a fan turn clockwise if there is no switch to make it?
Hello person with the fan rotation question.YES...an electric motor such as a floor/table/window/ceiling fan should always turn clockwise unless there is a design reason otherwise. If your fan is rotating counterclockwise you can change it by going into it and reversing the polarity. JUST BE SURE TO UNPLUG IT FIRST.
