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.

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?

It is not recommended to modify the speed control of your ceiling fan by adding a voltage regulating switch. Altering the speed control system can damage the motor and pose a safety risk. It is best to consult a professional electrician for proper solutions to regulate the fan speed.


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 causes a ceiling fan to fry?

A ceiling fan can fry due to electrical issues such as a short circuit, overheating of the motor, or damaged wiring. This can be caused by overloading the fan with too much power, using incorrect voltage, or if the fan is not properly installed or maintained.
