mostly because fans use induction motors therefore the starting torque is less,this is provided by the capacitor by increasing the voltage
There are usually two capacitors in a ceiling fan motor. One is the "start" capacitor and the other is the "run" capacitor. Simply put, an AC motor needs a rotating magnetic field in order turn the motor shaft. This is done by applying voltage with different phases to different windings. In a single phase system there is only one voltage phase. The capacitor is used to provide a phase shift in the windings of the motor, making it appear that the motor is operating in a multiphase system.

What types of capacitor used in electric ceiling fans?

Electrolytic capacitors or film capacitors. The capacitor in an electric fan is used to start the motor, and the speed is controlled by the current of the governor. The size of the startup capacitor can only change the startup speed of the fan. Once the fan is started, that is, once the capacitor is discharged, the capacitor only plays the role of isolating DC. It will no longer participate in the operation of the fan. Because the capacitor only has the function of charging and discharging. ----We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

Why do you use a capacitor in fans?

Due to the type of motor used in a fan. The capacitor provides a phase shift between the stationary winding and the rotating winding, which is necessary to get the desired torque.
