Another bad point for AC Motor, upon aging, it will produce black powder as it is using carbon brush (small part of the motor that conducts electrical current between the stator and the rotor of a motor). It is consumable parts and will wear-out in time.

In my 30+ years of working with electricity, every A/C fan motor I have come across have been Induction Motors without carbon brushes, I have yet to see an A/C ceiling fan with a universal motor till today. Could you please name me one model that uses universal motors?

Yes you are right.

The bad capacitor can be due to AC spike in your house or reverse voltage produced by the fan coil. Usually it considered at 2x AC voltage but most capacitor in shop has rating of 450V. If you can find the 500V, then it would have longer lifetime.

Boss, you sure you supposed to reply to me? tongue.gif
I'm calling out that other poster who sounds like a salesperson trying to promote their D/C fans, and so they are spreading bad information about A/C fans to confuse people.

Then you shouldn't have made the statement like you are an expert at it. You create FUD for readers when you post misinformation, considering that the TS is trying to get information about ceiling fans.

But here's the thing - I don't think you are a layperson learning and contributing.

Alpha and Deka offered many choices, but in term of reliability, they are always having spoilt CBB capacitor (especially AC Motor Fan, unable to control speed or the speed becomes very slow).
A layperson only thinks of the capacitor that controls the fan speed, while you know to say the type "CBB" capacitors.

Bro, you must be strong supporter of AC Fan. No offence, AC Fan is cheap and function as it is.
Nope, this is not about me. Since I correct the misinformation, I am a supporter of A/C motor fan? That's the logic of a 5 y.o.

Sorry, I said I am learner on types of motor, doesn't means I dont know about basic electronics.
I know about "CBB" capacitor because I fixed it before, not to mention such info is available online easily.

I shall stop here. Thanks for your comments. smile.gif

Impressive pictures! Since you already opened a fan to make repairs, how many carbon brushes did you find? Was it the same as the water pump that had carbon brushes in the heater that you looked at?

Feel free to reply, but I'm going to get back on topic for any further addition to this thread.

Thanks for sharing, but I couldn't imagine ceiling fan consumption lagi tinggi daripada peti sejuk?!

"There are 3 kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics." I decided to read the "research paper" quoted, and unfortunately I found some discrepancies. I post an image without any text edits, but with it slightly shortened.

I can't get the numbers quoted by the author of the paper. Please decide for yourself if the data can be trusted.
Any mistakes in the post are my own. Please correct me if you find any.
