Motors Used in Ceiling Fans

The document discusses two types of motors used in ceiling fans: Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motors and Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. PSC motors are common due to their simple design and low cost but have lower efficiency and no smart control options, while BLDC motors are more energy-efficient and offer smart control features but come with a higher initial cost. The document also provides power consumption details for various fan types.

MOTORS USED IN CEILING FANS

Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) Motor

Used in: Traditional AC Ceiling Fans

Working Principle
•A single-phase induction motor with a main winding and an auxiliary winding connected in
series with a capacitor.
•The capacitor creates a phase shift for starting and running the motor.

Why PSC Motors Are Common?


✅ Simple design → Reliable and requires minimal maintenance
✅ Affordable → Low manufacturing cost
✅ Moderate efficiency → Works well for household fans
✅ Smooth speed control → Easily controlled using a capacitor-based regulator

Disadvantages:
❌ Lower efficiency (Consumes ~70W of power)
❌ Slight humming noise due to AC operation
❌ No smart control options

TORQUE-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor

Used in: Smart & Energy-Efficient Ceiling Fans

Working Principle
•Uses DC power with electronic commutation (instead of mechanical brushes) to switch the
stator windings.
•Requires an electronic controller to operate.

Why BLDC Motors Are Becoming Popular?


✅ Highly energy-efficient (Consumes ~25-35W, saving up to 65% power)
✅ Silent operation (No electromagnetic noise like PSC motors)
✅ Longer lifespan (No brushes to wear out)
✅ Smart control (Supports remote control, IoT, and variable speed)

Disadvantages:
❌ Higher initial cost
❌ Requires an electronic driver circuit
BLDC MOTOR
TORQUE-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
Fan Type Power Consumption (Wattage)

Conventional Ceiling Fan (PSC Motor) 60W - 80W

Energy-Efficient Ceiling Fan (BLDC Motor) 25W - 40W

High-Speed Ceiling Fan 70W - 90W

Small-Sized Ceiling Fan (24" - 36") 30W - 50W

✔ Power Rating:
•Conventional (PSC) Fans → 60W - 80W
•BLDC Fans → 25W - 40W

✔ Speed (RPM):
•Standard Fans → 300 - 400 RPM
•High-Speed Fans → 400 - 500 RPM
