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.

Why you use 3.5 micro farad capacitor instead of 2.5 microfarad in ceiling fans?

A 3.5 microfarad capacitor is often used in ceiling fans instead of a 2.5 microfarad capacitor to provide better starting torque and overall efficiency. The higher capacitance helps to improve the phase difference between current and voltage, resulting in smoother operation and improved performance. Additionally, a 3.5 microfarad capacitor can help reduce noise and vibrations, enhancing the fan's longevity and user experience.

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.
