How does a heater use a motor?

Motors in heaters are to run the fans to distribute the heat over a larger area.


What is the difference between axial in-line fans and centrifugal inline fans?

Axial fans are like a propeller - like most domestic fans. Centrifugal fans are like water or paddle wheeels that sit inside a case. Instead of water turning them, the wheel is driven by the motor and that moves the gas. In-line merely means that the fan sits in the gas flow.


What is the principle operation wound rotor induction motor?

Considering a split phase single phase motor: The basic motor has a run winding uses 2 poles (or some equivalent), so the motor is activated by the single phase at 180 degree times. This needs a spin to get it started. The direction is according to the direction of the starting spin. It is an induction motor, meaning the rotor has shorting bars. The stator field is connectd to the supply, and induces the required magnetic field in the rotor by transformer action, as for other induction motors. The starting circuit has the purpose of getting the motor to spin up to sufficient speed for the run winding to take over. The rotation needs some sort of flywheel (inertial) action to carry it through the periods of zero magnetic reaction. It might use a rotor with a commutator for starting, with a centrifugal device that shorts the rotor once the speed is sufficient, so it converts to an induction motor. This method is not used much nowadays. It can have high starting torque for use with compressors for example. A common approach is to have a second field winding for starting, with poles at 90 degrees to the run winding, so there are four (or equivalent) poles. This is a two phase motor, with a separate field winding for each phase. It can be used as a 2 phase motor with the phases separated by 90 degrees. The second phase is derived from the supply using a capacitor or inductor to cause the current to lead or lag by approximately 90 degrees. The inductor type might use the different inductance of the two windings to get some current separation, and so the starting torque might be lower as this is less than 90 degrees. These were popular because capacitors were expensive. The capacitor type has a capacitor in series with the start winding, and is the most likely type nowadays. Once the rotor is up to speed the start winding can be disconnected by a centrifugal or current operated switch. Some motors run with both windings continuously connected. Another principle now out of favour because of efficiency issues is used on small motors like fans. It is called a shaded pole motor. Here a special shading pole, part of each stator field pole, is fitted with a shorting winding which causes the field to shift as it builds up on each half cycle, so there is a flick in the correct rotational direction. This has low starting torque.


Are there energy efficient exhaust fans?

Most manufacturers and wholesalers of exhaust fans carry energy efficient models. When looking for a fan which will save energy, look for the "Energy Star" logo which shows that the products meets energy efficiency guidelines.

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.


What type of motor is used in table fan?

Table fans typically use an AC induction motor, which is cost-effective, efficient, and reliable for driving the fan blades. The motor is designed to provide the necessary torque and speed for the fan to effectively circulate air in a small space.


What is the most energry saving ceiling fans with lights?

The most energy-saving ceiling fans with lights are those that are ENERGY STAR certified, use LED bulbs, and have a DC motor for increased efficiency. Look for fans with variable speed settings and a reversible motor to maximize energy savings.


How fast can a fan go?

Most 110 volt household fans will rotate at 1725 rpm as that's a standard motor speed. Some specialised fans like those for computer mainframes may rotate faster.


Does table fans have capacitors?

What is the function of vfd?

It is a variable frequency drive, used to control the speed of a 3-phase motor all the way from stopped to full speed, and anywhere in between. Also called VSD, for variable speed drive, they are used to control pumps, fans, conveyor belt drives, anywhere a motor needs to be controlled to a precise speed other than the normal nameplate full speed, or where the speed needs to change to meet different operating conditions.


What are the advantages of using a DC motor in a ceiling fan compared to a traditional AC motor?

DC motors in ceiling fans offer advantages such as energy efficiency, quieter operation, and variable speed control compared to traditional AC motors.


Why is necessary to control over speed in a motor?

over speed control is recommended for all prime mover driven generator to prevent over frequency operation of load connected to a system supplied by the generator and also to prevent possible over frequency operation of the generator itself from Ac system.


What happens if you use synchronous motor in ceiling fans?

Synchronous motors are much more efficient at converting electric power into motion. However, the speed of the motor is controlled by the frequency of the electric supply. So a synchronous motor ceiling fan would be much more efficient, but the speed of the fan would not be controllable, unless frequency controlled power supplies (inverter power) are used.
