The Energy Efficient DC Motors For Your Ceiling Fans

Trending appliances keep moving in and out of trend every season. Among ceiling fans, fans with light and fans with more fan blades were also introduced. However, there is lesser focus extended towards welcoming advanced technology-oriented products to enhance your home interior design. Mostly, it’s about style and the feel adding to your home aesthetics. It’s also a true fact that keeping track of every new invention and innovation is almost impossible.

DC motors are more effective when it comes to energy consumption than AC motors. This is in part due to the simplicity of using an electrical current that only runs in one direction, but also thanks to the magnets used in DC motors, which enable them to use less energy. If you’re curious about how that works, read on to learn more about DC motors!

Why DC Motor Is More Efficient?

Traditionally, when ceiling fans were up and running in homes and other spaces, most of them comprised AC motors. This was essential considering that the home supply of electricity is also AC in nature. AC motor fans are simple and easy to use, but they are not much efficient and cannot be used for improved electrical setup at your home.

Typically, a DC motor fan involves a technology where the incoming stream of AC current is split into 3 different components and then used by the fan motor.

Through this technology, you have more controlled access to the incoming power supply. It requires a specific control module that will help in channelizing the incoming power into 3 components. Due to such prerequisites, DC motor fans are more efficient and less noisy. Although you may have to spend on the expensive DC motor and module, it’s worth it.

The Advantages Of DC Ceiling Fans

- The power consumption of your ceiling fan depends on a number of factors, like the size of the fan and what speed it’s run at. A DC ceiling fan running at high speeds may use around 35-40 watts, but may consume as little as 2 watts when set at its lowest speed!

- Ceiling fan airflow efficiency is the number of cubic feet of air moved per minute divided by the wattage used. You will find that DC ceiling fans are generally more energy-efficient than AC ceiling fans.

- As you might expect, DC ceiling fans are powered by motors that utilize direct current. It is known that DC motors are more energy-efficient than AC motors. However, technically speaking, neither AC nor DC currents are much more efficient than the other as a whole. Yet, they are “specialized,” or better than the others at certain tasks.

- When the motor is powered by a DC current, the stator creates an electromagnetic field. In turn, the push and pull of the stator’s magnets influence the rotor’s magnets to move, causing the rotor to spin.

- DC ceiling fans are also able to offer better speed control and, therefore, more speed options than AC fans. The less voltage that is used to power a DC motor, the weaker the force created, and the lower the speed.
