We get to see it many times. Whenever we bring a new ceiling fan, it rotates at a fairly good speed. But after some time his speed decreases considerably, so today we will know the main reason for the ceiling fan speed problem.
This question related to a ceiling fan is also asked in the interviews, so never give a direct answer to this question. Answer the question with the system.
Ceiling Fan Speed Problem
The main 5 reasons, due to which the speed of the ceiling fan decreases is:
1)Low voltage problem
If ever the voltage of your house is coming down, then it directly affects your ceiling fan. Because the speed of an electric motor always depends on the voltage itself. If the voltage comes down then the speed will be reduced and if the voltage comes fully then we will get good speed.
Solutions for ceiling fan low voltage problem
You have 2 ways to avoid the problem of low voltage.
1. You can get your power provider company to report the problem of low voltage. When your voltages start coming in, the speed of the fan will also increase automatically.
2. You can also increase the speed of the fan by increasing the value of the capacitor installed in your fan. For example, if only 180 voltages are coming to your house, then at this time you can install capacitors up to 3.5 MFD in a 70 watt ceiling fan. What value will the capacitor be placed here, it is extracted from a formula.
2)Jammed Ceiling Fan
The speed of your fan decreases even if the ceiling fan is jammed. To check this, close your fan from the main switch board. And then later by turning the fan with your hands, check whether the fan is moving smoothly or is jammed.
Solution - If the fan jam is going on, then your ceiling fan needs greasing.
3)Bearing problem
What the speed of your fan will depend on the bearing too. If the fan's bearing is bad, then the fan will move very slowly and after some time it may create a bad sound to hear while moving.
Fan sound problem solution
To check the fan bearing, you have to first run the fan and now you have to listen to the sound of the fan with your ears. Is there any different sound out of it because Bearing's failure causes a strange sound like a cut from the fan.
Solution- If there is a sound like this, then you have to take the fan directly to the repair shop. And open the ceiling fan to see if the bearing is bad or correct.
4)Capacitor Problem

If your fan is moving very slowly, then most of the chances are due to the capacitor going bad at this time. But you always walk through the line, first check the above three things if all of them are correct. Even then the fan is running slowly, so now you check the capacitor.
How to check ceiling fan capacitor working or not?
The capacitor of the ceiling fan is quite easy to check. For this, you have to first remove the capacitor from the fan. After this, you have to connect both the wires of the capacitor with a phase and a neutral supply, this supply will be given in the capacitor for 2-3 seconds.
After this, you will remove both these wires and then you will short both the wires colliding with each other. If at this time you get to hear a loud sound and see a strong bright blue spark together then this capacitor is right for you. And if not then you have to replace this capacitor.

5)Ceiling fan stator problem

If your ceiling fan does not have any of the four problems mentioned above, then now you have to check the stator of the fan. The stator is the part of the motor on which the winding is done. If there is a gap inside the leaves of this stator, the magnetic field is not well-formed. And if the magnetic field inside the motor is not formed properly, the fan speed will also be reduced.
