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 happens to current in a circuit if the voltage is halved and the resistance stays the same?
the current doubles.. explanation:V=IR hence I=V/R which means that when the supply voltage is constant ,current is inversely proportional to resistance.thus the current doubles. practically speaking when the resistance of the load(fan ,bulb,refrigerator,....) is less ,it draws more current from the source so as to balance the voltage across it.i.e; to maintain the voltage across it as constant. This answer is absolutely correct if you assume that the current comes from a pure voltage source ( voltage source with zero internal resistance). At the other extreme you could have a current source (such as a very large voltage source in series with a very large resistor), and then the current is practically independent of changes if the external resistance is changed (because the change represents a relatively minute change in the overall resistance). With appropriate circuitry it is possible to devise a situation where the current is practically independent of the changing resistance.
When speed of fan is increase what is effect on voltage?
voltage would go up typically (you would raise the voltage, not the fan circuit), but it depends on the motor
How much current wil be neededed for the fan to work?
P(power)=ViVoltage=P/iAnswerThe rated voltage for a fan must be shown on its nameplate, together with its power rating. It will depend on the country in which it is to be used. So, in Europe, it'll be 230 V and, in North America, it's likely to be 120 V.
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
What is the voltage rating and current rating of the fan?
15 amps 120 volts AC
What is the voltage rating of a ceiling fan?
It depends on the voltage standards of the country in which you live. In Europe the nominal voltage would be 230 V; in North America, it would be 120 V.
How much input current is being provided to ceiling fans?
If you can find the wattage of the fan and you know the voltage of the fan use the following equation. Amps = watts/volts.
Did ceiling fan operate on dc or ac current?
ac current
My ceiling fan speed is stuck on high I am wondering if you can wire a voltage regulating switch that will allow you to vary ceiling fan speeds without damaging motor or causing other problems?
Light dimmer switch is okay for ceiling fan.
How much current is taken by a ceiling fan?
0.4 amp
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.
What is a ceiling fan?
It's a fan that hangs from your ceiling.
How much current passes through the celling fan?
More information is needed to answer this question. Voltage, type of fan, horsepower of the fan or wattage of the fanareneeded to find what the current draw of the fan.
One fan requires how many amperes of current?
To answer this question the voltage and HP of the fan needs to be known.
What is hugger ceiling fan?
A ceiling fan that mounts directly to the ceiling with no down-rod.
What is the principle of ceiling fan?
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.
