What is Difference between AC & DC Motor?

Technically speaking, AC (Alternating Current) motors function by being connected directly to a power supply. This power supply is what creates the moment of force required to rotate the motor. For DC (Direct Current) motors, it function by using power supply and connects to a transformer which converts the power to DC.  As the motor use Direct Current, it decreases the amount of power used compare to AC To then create the force needed to rotate the motor’s rotor, the DC motor uses a system of magnets of opposing polarity. 

Advantages of using DC motor ceiling fan

  • Energy saving up to 70% less than AC motor ceiling fan
  • Silent Operation
  • More speed options up to 8 speeds and reverse function available

How to choose suitable ceiling fan size for your house?

First thing that you need to consider when choosing the fan size is the size of the area in which the ceiling fan will be place. The square footage of a room dictates how big the ceiling fan will need to be because a fan that is too small or big for a space will not circulate the air properly. 

Ceiling fans are measured by the full size of their blade span (also called blade sweep), which is the diameter of the circle that you see when the fan blades are in motion. Fan blade span reaches from the tip of one fan blade to the tip of the blade directly across. 

Once you’ve measured the dimensions of the room, here is a guide on what size ceiling fan should go in that room. 

Ceiling Fan Size Guide: 

Fan Size  Room Size  Room Type 
29″ or less  less than 50 sq. ft.  Hallway, Laundry Room, Walk-In Closet 
36″  up to 75 sq. ft.  Breakfast Nook, Large Bathroom 
42″  up to 100 sq. ft.  Bedroom, Office, Kitchen 
52″  up to 225 sq. ft.  Master Bedroom, Dining Room, Patio Area 
56″  up to 400 sq. ft.  Large Living Room, Great Room 

 

What should I consider when picking ceiling fan blades? 

The number of ceiling blades is often an important point in deciding what type of ceiling fan to purchase, but this is becoming less of a question of function and more of personal choice with advancements in technology. 

It used to be the case that a five- or six-blade ceiling fan would translate into more efficiency as opposed to a three blade or four blade, but that’s no longer the case. Since the CFM is the measure for a fan’s airflow efficiency, the number of blades is more related to embellishing the style for your space. For example, a four or five blade ceiling fan provides a more conventional, balanced look, whereas a fan with two or  three blades possesses a modern and sleek style.
