Ceiling fans typically use copper wiring for their electrical components. The amount of copper used in a ceiling fan can vary depending on the size and design of the fan, but it is typically a few pounds.
> No lightning can hit a building affecting the lighting that comes from the fan > or can short circuit the house but not directly hit a ceiling fan. > Answered by SMCherry originally. I disagree with SMCherry on this. I do agree that it is highly unlikely a direct strike on a ceiling fan will occur though it is not impossible. Any electrical circuit connected to earth ground could be the target of a strike. I do agree with SMCHerry that generally appliances in homes are damaged by the massive electrical surge caused when a lightning strike hits a near by a home such as an external power line, not by a direct hit to the appliance itself. It was originally thought that even electrical supply lines buried deep in the ground were immune from lightning strikes. The theory was that the earth would dissipate the energy before contacting the power lines and therefore not effect the buried power lines. Testing has proven this theory to be incorrect. Power lines buried in the ground and even encased in conduit (metal pipes used to protect the wiring) have been obliterated by the massive energy released by lightning. Lightning does take the quickest easiest path to ground and a strike on a home near a ceiling fan is most likely to find alternate paths to ground first prior to coming into contact with the fan. However lightning can generate gigawatts of energy - for the non technical out there that's one hell-a-va lot of power and strikes seldom take a single path to ground. Simply watch any video of lightning strikes and you will see many strikes/paths in one discharge. See the related link for an example.
Not all fans do need a magnet - there are hand fans, punkah walla fans belt driven fans (as in your car) and Stirling engine fans that I can think of that do not need a magnet. It is only electrically driven fans that require a magnet because they work on the principles of electromagnetism.
Yes, the current used by a typical light fixture in a house is alternating current (AC). This type of current is commonly used for household electrical systems as it can easily be converted to different voltages using transformers.

One can get professional help for installation of a brushed nickel ceiling fan from The Home Depot where they provide help with installation of all items. One can also find help by contacting installation engineers on Yelp.
ceiling fan approx 80w and tube light 40w
A ceiling fan bracket adapter is used to connect a ceiling fan to a ceiling fan bracket that may not be compatible with the fan's mounting system. It helps in installing a ceiling fan by providing a secure and stable connection between the fan and the ceiling, ensuring proper installation and functionality of the fan.
To install a ceiling fan on a sloped ceiling, you can use a ceiling fan sloped ceiling adapter. This adapter allows the fan to be mounted securely on the angled ceiling, ensuring proper installation and function. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to safely install the adapter and the ceiling fan on the sloped ceiling.
It's a fan that hangs from your ceiling.
The resistance in a ceiling fan typically ranges from 5 to 15 ohms. This resistance is mainly due to the winding in the motor and the internal wiring of the fan.

The purpose of a ceiling fan bracket is to securely attach the fan to the ceiling. It contributes to the installation and stability of the ceiling fan by providing a strong and stable connection point between the fan and the ceiling, ensuring that the fan is properly supported and balanced.
A ceiling fan adapter plate is used to attach a ceiling fan to a ceiling that has a different mounting system. It helps in installing a ceiling fan by providing a secure and stable connection between the fan and the ceiling, ensuring proper installation and functionality.
A ceiling fan mounting bracket adapter is used to connect a ceiling fan to a ceiling fan mounting bracket that may not be compatible with the fan's design. It helps in installing a ceiling fan by providing a secure and stable connection between the fan and the ceiling, ensuring proper installation and functionality.
