Ceiling Fan Speed Controller Circuit

A ceiling fan s wiring is integral when it comes to controlling its speed.

Ceiling fan speed controller circuit.

If you install a ceiling fan without wiring it properly it may prove impossible to operate the fan without the light on and vice versa. The slow speed is obtained by using the 4 3uf capacitor purple p the medium speed is obtained by using the 2 1uf capacitor red r and the high speed is. In order to control the fan s speed the fan needs its own system of wires separate from that of the lighting element. This wiring diagram illustrates the connections for a ceiling fan and light with two switches a speed controller for the fan and a dimmer for the lights.

Variable speed controls must be specially designed for use with ceiling fans. The source is at the switches and the input of each is spliced to the black source wire with a wire nut. In the above ceiling fan speed control wiring diagram i shown the main winding running winding and i connect run wire of motor to the speed control switch and you can see it in above diagram that connection of run wire of motor in switch l point and and 1 and 2 for capacitor. There are several ways to control ceiling fans and light kits.

Note the crude circuit diagram on the black box object the fan speed controller i infer that the fan controller works by inserting a capacitance into the fan s power supply circuit. Ceiling fan and light kit control options.
