How an electric fan works..?

An electric fan is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, which is then used to rotate the blades of the fan and produce air flow. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how an electric fan works:

1. Power source: The electric fan is connected to a power source, usually an AC outlet.

2. Capacitor: The start capacitor is used to store energy and is responsible for rotating the fan from a rest state. It increases the electric fan motor torque and allows the motor to rotate rapidly. This capacitor remains in the circuit until the electric fan reaches a predetermined speed, usually 75% of the full speed of the fan. When the fan reaches the predetermined speed, the capacitor is taken out of the circuit and will again be incorporated into the circuit when the fan comes to a rest state.

3. Axle: The axle or shaft is a metallic rod mostly made up of mild steel. It is connected from the ceiling to the fan housing. It stays at rest motion while bearings supporting the housing over it rotates. It also has an arrangement for the transfer of current to the stator windings.

4. Bearings: Ball bearings are used in the electric fan. Two bearings link between the housing and axle, giving the rotary motion to the housing.

5. Stator: Stator winding is simply the stationary winding in the electric fan motor winding. Stator winding means thousands of turns of conducting wire on any non-conducting structure like a coil. This winding has very low resistance. The main purpose of the stator winding is to convert electric current into a magnetic field.

6. Rotor: The rotor in the electric motor is the permanent magnetic in the shape of half circles. Usually, two pieces of magnets are used in an electric fan, but this can change to three pieces or to a single piece depending upon the size and capacity of the electric fan .

7. Blades: Fan blades generate airflow. They have straight, curved, or angled blades. Fan airflow depends on fan blade size and material.

I hope this explanation helps you understand how an electric fan works!. 🤟
