Regulator BLDC ceiling fans

The function of a regulator is to provide the user with control over the fan. This control comes with a loss of power. Therefore, it is good to choose the type of regulator that minimizes this loss (To know more read: What does a fan regulator do? ). Regulators also save energy as the user can operate the fan at the desired RPM, which may be lower than the highest RPM in many instances. Currently, capacitive-based regulators are the best…

What does a fan regulator do?

Regulators, as the name suggests, regulate or control the speed of the fan motor. They have been around since the 1950s, and there are a few types of them. Resistive regulator   These are the box type regulators, found in many old building and homes. It has a wire wound resistor with different contact points as the speed positions, with each contact point corresponding to a resistance value. The presence of resistance reduces the voltage supplied to the fan. In an AC induction motor,…
