Electric Fan

Electric Fan
It is 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.
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.
 Electric Fan
The air velocity/delivery of the electric fan is
controlled by a mechanical speed selector
switch for old models and electronically
controlled speed selector switch for new
models.
Timer is also included for fully automatic
operations.
PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC FAN (External
Front Guard - a protective metal mesh wire
used to prevent the fan blade from any physical
contact with foreign objects.
Guard Mark - a logo of the manufacturer of
the electric fan which is mounted at the center
of the front guard.
Switch Box - a panel board for the
controls of the electric fan.
Inner Pipe - a metal tube inserted into the outer
tube intended for proper height adjustment of
the electric fan.
Outer Pipe- a metal tube attached to the base
stand of the electric fan.
Base Stand - the bottom or lowest part of
the electric fan where it stands as a foundation.
Blade - a propeller made out of plastic or
metal which is attached in to the motor shaft
and agitates air when the motor rotates.
Remote Control - a transmitter device
used to control the electric fan from a distance.
 External Part
Electric Motor
It is the main part of the electric fan that
produces mechanical energy to make the
propeller rotate.
Rotor
It is the movable part of the electrical motor
that rotates.
 Copper Winding
It is a set of copper wire that supplies electricity
in the stator and rotor.
 Stator
It is a nonor. movable part of the electric motor
that provides electro magnetic energy to the rot

• Power Controller – It is a circuit that controls
the amount of power supplied to the motor.
• Sensor – It is the input receiver that detects
input signal coming from remote control.
• Manual Control – It is a push button switch
that controls manually operation of the
electric fan.
• Timer – It is use to switch on or switch off
automatically with predetermine time.
• Comparator – It is a processing circuit that
accepts the input signal coming from remote
control, manual switch or timer switch. This
circuit provides the triggering voltage to the
power controller.
• AC Motor – A rotating electric machine which
changes applied electrical energy or power into
mechanical output energy or power.
• AC Plug – It is a connector intended for
connecting to the main source 220V.
