What Goes into the Manufacturing of Super Energy Efficient BLDC Fans?

Comments 0 Comment

Traditional ceiling fans relied on energy-hungry induction motors for years, consuming around 70-80 watts of power. But a new era has dawned with the rise of BLDC technology, offering energy-efficient fans without compromising on-air delivery. BLDC fans can slash power consumption by up to 69%, thanks to their advantages over induction motors: lower electricity usage, lesser noise, and enhanced lifespan. Ceiling fans are often overlooked when it comes to energy conservation, as attention is typically on larger appliances like air…

Regulator BLDC ceiling fans

Comments 0 Comment

The function of a regulator is to provide the user with control over the fan. This control comes with a loss of power. Therefore, it is good to choose the type of regulator that minimizes this loss (To know more read: What does a fan regulator do? ). Regulators also save energy as the user can operate the fan at the desired RPM, which may be lower than the highest RPM in many instances. Currently, capacitive-based regulators are the best…

BLDC Ceiling Fans Operate At Stable Speed Even During Fluctuations

Comments 2 comments

Speed fluctuation in regular ceiling fans Ever experienced that your regular ceiling fan runs at a higher speed in the early hours of the morning or change speed on its own? This speed fluctuation stems from the inherent behaviour of the type of motor used in the ceiling fan. A regular ceiling fan is driven by Alternating Current Induction Motor (ACIM), for which, loosely speaking, the input supply voltage determines the rotation speed. The domestic input supply voltage (ideally 230V)…

A brief note on BLDC motors and their application in ceiling fans

Comments 9 comments

Motors are the primary component in a ceiling fan and this blog throws light on working of ceiling fan motors especially BLDC motors. Electric Motor And It’s Working We come across hundreds of motors in our daily life from domestic to industrial applications. Motors are electrical machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy (rotational motion). This rotational motion can be translated into linear motions as well based on the application. All electric motors have the following parts: Stator –…

Embracing Energy Efficiency: The Mandatory BEE Star Labelling for Ceiling Fans and Superfan’s Pioneering Role

Comments 0 Comment

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power, India, implemented the mandatory BEE star labelling for ceiling fans on January 1, 2023. This initiative aims to promote energy efficiency and ensure that consumers can make informed choices when purchasing fans. In this blog, we will discuss the BEE star rating system, the calculation of service value, and the pioneering role Superfan played in revolutionizing the Indian fan industry by introducing BLDC motor-based super energy-efficient fans. Understanding the…

Ceiling Fans: The Overlooked Appliance; Not anymore!

Comments 2 comments

Congratulations to ceiling fan users and manufacturers, that’s literally everyone in India! A red letter day for Fan Industry in India as mandatory star labelling starts from this day, 01-01-2023. It has taken exactly 10 years since India’s first super energy efficient ceiling fan, Superfan was officially sold to its first customer on 01-01-2013. We have fond memories of Mrs. Abha Shukla, IAS who was instrumental in including Versa Drives in discussions at the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). Soon…

Are small ceiling fans effective?

Comments 4 comments

Typically, ceiling fan size ranges from 24 inches to 60 inches, the size refers to the diameter of the ceiling fan. Fans cool people by generating an airflow around them and the general principle is that the larger fans move a larger volume of air. Certain spaces like a pooja room, a small office cubicle, a cashier desk, a dressing space, a study nook, etc. require a small ceiling fan as   these spaces require confined narrow airflow spread to…

Where 60-inch ceiling fans can be used? [Take advantage of 60-inch ceiling fan]

Comments 5 comments

There are fewer choices in 60” ceiling fans in India. This may be due to the lack of knowledge among the consumers and shops, to the need to appropriately size the fan and reap its advantages. Typically, the 48” (1200 mm) ceiling fan irrespective of its fit to the space and suffers a lack in comfort, energy and cost efficiency. In a 60” inch ceiling fan, 60” refers to the diameter of the fan including the motor. The size is…

Does your BLDC ceiling fan have lightning protection?

Comments 2 comments

Let us begin with the understanding the power surge and its common causes. A power surge is simply an unexpected increase in voltage, it is also called transient voltage. The common causes are fluctuations caused by large appliances like ACs, washers, dryers, lightening, load dump at the power grid, improper wiring.  It is commonly observed that electronics are sensitive to failure due to a power surge – a sudden burst of electricity higher than normal levels. One of the major…

THERMAL ADAPTABILITY AND CEILING FANS

Comments 0 Comment

Thermal adaptation is the ability of the human body to adjust to temperatures. The human body works to maintain the core body temperature at 37° celsius. The loss or gain of heat from the environment activates the thermal regulators in the body to warm or cool respectively. The thermal regulation system in our body functions intending to keep ourselves at a comfortable temperature. The core of our body passes on heat to the skin to maintain comfort during cold climates,…
