In this way, the shadow of the fan rotating at the floor is clockwise. Ceiling fans can be set up to rotate either way, many of them have a switch that will change the direction. Others can be wired to rotate either way. Typically they are designed to push air rather than pull it.

There should be a switch on your ceiling fan that allows it to rotate in either direction. The reason for this switch is so that the direction of rotation can be changed along with the seasons. The ceiling fan should blow down in the summer time and draw upwards in the winter time. By drawing air upwards in the winter time is circulates the warm air which accumulates in the ceiling area and moves it down the walls to the floor level.

Polarity likely reversed.

<<>>

Most ceiling fans have switches mounted on the body of the fan housing that will reverse the direction of the fan blades. There is also a second switch that is used for speed control. It is usually a three position switch that allows the fan to rotate at slow, medium and fast speeds. Remember that the fan should move the air downwards in the summer months and move the air upwards to the ceiling in the winter months.

Because if it went clock wise then it would suck in the air.

Its just convention. By the way, most ceiling fans can rotate in both directions depending on which way you want the air to flow.

You can reverse the polarity on either one and it will spin in the other direction. It is the way it's wired to correspond with direction of blade angle

From what angle is the clockwise or counterclockwise motion of a ceiling fan judged?

It is assumed that you will be standing below it to determine the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This is to avoid confusion when discussing the direction of the air due to the pitch on the blades. Since the pitch is fixed, the only variable left is the rotation direction of the blades.


Which direction is a ceiling fan supposed to go in the summer clockwise or counter clockwise?

Depends on how the blades are angled. In winter, you want it to blow the warm air off the ceiling, to the floor. In summer, you want it to pull the cool air upwards.


Should ceiling fan switch be up or down in summer?

With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.

What way does the fan rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?

I suppose it would depend on which side of the planet you are on. If it's clockwise on one side then it's counterclockwise on the opposite side.

Why ceiling fan rotates in anticlockwise direction but table fan rotates in clockwise direction?

Ceiling fans usually can rotate in either direction. There is usually a switch on the unit. This allows downflow during the warm season and upflow during the winter. The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.

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.

When a room is hot is it better to have the ceiling fan turn clockwise or counter clockwise?

When a room is hot it is better to have the ceiling fan turned counter clockwise. This forces the air to blow down. In the winter the fan should turn clockwise to keep the warm air higher.
