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.

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.


Why do we use capacitors on fan motors?

It stores electricity used as a boost when first starting the fan.
