Ceiling Fan Run Capacitor

Most ceiling fans use a type of motor known as a permanent split capacitor motor.

Ceiling fan run capacitor.

A capacitor is connected in series with the start winding to insert a phase shift but once the motor is up to speed it becomes an auxiliary winding. There are two windings inside the ceiling fan known as starting winding and running winding. Get it as soon as fri sep 11. 4 3 out of 5 stars 11.

This westinghouse lighting 3 mfd and 6 5 mfd fan capacitor features a 3 wire design 3 mfd and 6 5 mfd rated capacitance and a 150 volt rating necessary for turning on the motor of a fan. Use it to replace a malfunctioning capacitor on compatible units to help restore normal fan speed operation. They are a self healing flat capacitor winding with polyester film dielectric. Generally the ceiling fan motors are split phase single phase ac motors.

They are mounted in a flame retardent plastic case with an epoxy resin end seal. Starting winding is also known as auxiliary winding while running windings is known as main winding. The cfc series is a range of metallized polyester film capacitors designed expressly for ceiling fan use.

Below is the circuit diagram of split phase induction motor in a ceiling fan clearly showing a capacitor connected in series with the starting winding auxiliary winding. These motors have two coils a start and a run winding.
