An air moving machine used to cool with an AC Motor connected to the 60 Hz power source which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy in order to generate a moving air
Electric Fan
It is a power driven machine capable of providing high air flow parallel to the axis of the motor shaft where an axially mounted impeller or fan blade agitates the air
The air velocity/delivery of the electric fan is controlled by a mechanicalspeedselector switch for old models and electronicallycontrolledspeedselectorswitch for new models
Timer is also included for fully automatic operations
Different types of electric fans
Desk fan type
Wall fan type
Ceiling fan or orbit fan type
Stand fan type
Desk fan type
A fan that is smallinsize and portable so it can be easily moved around and placed on top of a desk without being unwieldy or taking up too much space
Wall fan type
Wall fans are placed on the wall on a mount, can also be found mounted into the flooring or on a worksurface, the most common places in which you will find a wall fan are the kitchen, and the bathroom
Ceiling fan or orbit fan type
A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan mounted on the ceiling of a room or space, it is usually electrically powered that uses hub-mounted rotating blades to circulate air, nowadays the ceiling fans are usually seen with light fixtures inside them
Stand fan type
A stand fan is an electric fan with an adjustablestand that supports it, the metal stand elevates the fan to about two to four feet from the ground
Whether the electric fans are in different types, all of them operate on the same principle and circuitdesign
Oscillating Mechanism
Helps the motor fan rotate in back and forth motion, providing larger volumes of air within the room where it is placed
Electric Motor
Provides the rotating magnetic force when it flows in the circuit
Consists of two windings, starting winding (auxiliary winding) and running winding (main winding)
Power Cord
Connecting point from the fan to the source circuit
Fan Guard/Grill
Can be made of plastic or metal
Used to cover the fan blade in order to protect the user from touching the rotating blades of the fan
Fan Blade
Propeller-shaped part made of plastic or metal used to make the air circulate around the room
Switch
Speed control device of the fan
Speeds usually include low, medium, and high
Copper Winding
A set of copper wire that supplies electricity in the stator and rotor
Bushing
An independent plain bearing that is inserted into a housing to provide a bearing surface for rotary applications
Gearbox Assembly
Also known as an oscillating mechanism, it helps the motor fan turns from side to side, changing the direction of its air current
Motor Capacitor
An electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field
Thermal Fuse
A safety protective device used to cut-off the circuit when the temperature rises at above normal as designed for the unit
INTERNAL PARTS OF THE ELECTRIC FAN
