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.

How do I perform a ceiling fan capacitor replacement?

To perform a ceiling fan capacitor replacement, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Take note of the wiring connections, then disconnect and remove the old capacitor. Install the new capacitor in the same way, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the fan. Test the fan to ensure it is working properly before turning the power back on.


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 use capacitors on fan motors?

capacitor stores charge ,so we use capacitor in fan for continuous voltage supply.


What is the process for fan capacitor replacement?

To replace a fan capacitor, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan housing and locate the capacitor. Note the wiring connections and carefully disconnect them. Take out the old capacitor and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the wiring following the same connections as before. Finally, reassemble the fan housing and turn the power back on to test the fan.
