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 will happen if higher rating capacitor is used in fan?
It will rotate faster.Since the fan is not designed for this, it will progressively ruin it.
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
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.
What are ceiling fan capacitors for?
There are a variety of capacitor sizes in ceiling fans. The capacitor is dependant upon the characteristics of the fans motor. Whether it is a single speed, two speed or three speed. If you think it is the capacitor at fault for the fan not operating, take the fan down and open it up. This will give you the exact sizing for your fan.See sources and related links below.
How capacitor works in electrical fan?
in a ceiling fan the capacitor is used to give the starting torque to motor for run. because we need a rotating type of magnetic field to the motor to run. once the motor run it become running even we disconnect the capacitor. by using the capacitor we produce the electrica difference(phase angle) between the two current taking by capacitor and the motor winding.
What type of capacitor is used in fan?
electrolytic
What type of motor is used in a fan?
A capacitor start motor is used in a ceiling fan.
Capacitor?
capacitor is a power cell used to generate electricity in the motor of ceiling fan
How can I change the ceiling fan capacitor?
To change the ceiling fan capacitor, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Disconnect the wires from the old capacitor and remove it. Install the new capacitor in its place and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the fan and turn the power back on to test the new capacitor.
What will happen if higher rating capacitor is used in fan?
It will rotate faster.Since the fan is not designed for this, it will progressively ruin it.
How to replace a capacitor in a ceiling fan?
To replace a capacitor in a ceiling fan, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Disconnect the wires from the old capacitor and take note of their placement. Install the new capacitor in the same position and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the fan and turn the power back on to test the new capacitor.
How do I perform a hunter fan capacitor replacement?
To perform a Hunter fan capacitor replacement, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Disconnect the wires from the old capacitor and remove it. Install the new capacitor in its place and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the fan and turn the power back on to test the fan.
How can I replace a ceiling fan capacitor?
To replace a ceiling fan capacitor, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Take note of the wires connected to the old capacitor and their positions. Disconnect the wires and remove the old capacitor. Install the new capacitor in the same position and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the fan and turn the power back on to test the new capacitor.
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.
