It has been a wonder to most, like what is the mechanism behind a ceiling fan. Today will unveil the mechanism behind it and the components supporting the rotation of it.
To guide you, below is a collage image with six parts that show the elements of a ceiling fan. The numbers attached to each element will be elaborated one after the other.
1. Is the outer look, which I am sure most people is aware with.
2. Acts as a protective cover as well as a rotor supporting system.A ball bearing is fixed inside where the rotating part got attached.Aluminum is the major ingredient in order to reduce the weight.Usually 3 blades are bolted at my ends.My direction of rotation will be counterclockwise when looking atop.
3. Part of the motor inside the system.It is stationary all the time.Conductors are stamped inside the unit.They are being called as "stator conductors".
4. The one who has got the running power.It runs at higher speed when power is connected.It has two sets of windings named, inner and outer.The direction of adjacent windings will be different.Wonder why it has two windings? (Ceiling fan has a split phase motor ,which can be developed by two windings and a capacitor.Right at the time of starting the fan the inner winding will be active .While running the outer winding will be in function.It is essential to connect a capacitor in between the windings otherwise the fan will just be like oscillating)
5. Provides certain starting torque to the system.If it is absent the system will have a starting trouble and not work at all. It does not require lot more charge for giving the thrust.Normally a 2.5MFD is sufficient. If it is faulty you will have to rotate your fan until it obtains speed.
6. The energy boosters inside the system. 300 or more conductors are inside in a single slot ,wound on the rotor.If any of the conductor got burned the system will be in trouble.When supply is connected the "blood " circulation will be fast enough to rotate the system. They are the bunch of conductors called the "NUCLEUS"
So there is the ceiling fun we have all wondered about, if not now you know.
At least now you know the components containing in a device that gives you relaxation when it is hot.
