Energy Star Program -- Residential
Ceiling Fans (Version 2.3)
� Residential ceiling fan is defined as a non-portable device
designed for home use that is suspended from the ceiling for
circulating air via the rotation of fan blades.
• Some ceiling fans also have an integral or attachable light kit.
� Key Requirements
• Minimum CFM and CFM/watt requirements

• Minimum CFM and CFM/watt requirements
• Pin based option in light kits
• Minimum 30-year motor, 1-year component, and 2-year light kit
warranty requirements
Fan Speed Minimum Airflow Efficiency Requirement
Low 1,250 CFM 155 CFM/watt
Medium 3,000 CFM 100 CFM/watt
High 5,000 CFM 75 CFM/watt
Other Ceiling Fan-Related Trends
� Energy efficient
� Quiet
� Designer
� Incorporating light fixture

Type of Motor used in Ceiling Fans and Salient
Feature of the Conventional Motor
� Ceiling Fans are direct driven mostly using single-phase Induction motor.
• Split-phase permanent capacitor
• Capacitor start, capacitor run
• Shaded pole motor
� Motors have windings wound for 18, 20 or 22 poles, resulting in to loweroperating speeds (Most common: 18 pole).

operating speeds (Most common: 18 pole).
� The rotor resistance is very high for wide speed control range using thestator voltage control.
� The operating speed range for the ceiling fans are
• 180 rpm to 380 rpm for countries like India
• 110 rpm to 220 rpm for Developed World
• Low Speed is approx. half of high speed
Type of Motor used in Ceiling Fans and
Salient Feature of the Conventional Motor
� High speed motor efficiency of about 20%.
� In India the minimum air delivery to achieve 5-star energy rating is210 m3/min, i.e. If the Fan draws 52.5 W or less then it is qualifiedfor 5-star energy rating.
� The hub diameter is about 15% of the tip diameter.
� The blade angle is about 10° to 15° and constant from hub to tip.

� The blade angle is about 10° to 15° and constant from hub to tip.
� Between low and high speeds three to five operating speed at equal interval is achieved using the variable speed control.
Improvement in Ceiling Fan
Performance by Motor Design
� Replacing the conventional 1-phase induction motor with energyefficient 1-phase induction motor
• Higher efficiency compared to the conventional motor
• Rotor bars are made up of copper instead of aluminium
• Increase in copper
• Increase in Iron
Magnequench -All Rights ReservedMagnequench -All Rights Reserved
• Increase in Iron
• Higher Cost compared to conventional 1-ph. Induction Motor
• Example: 70 W input power can be reduce to 50-55 W.
� Replacing the conventional 1-phase induction motor with 1-phase /3-phase PMBL DC motor
• Higher efficiency compared to the energy efficient 1-phase induction
motor at all the speeds
• Higher Motor Cost due to the presence of Magnet, Electronics and
Sensors
Improvement in Ceiling Fan
Performance by Motor Design
� Small pay back period for the additional cost
� Difficulty in achieving the sensorless operation due to low operating speed
� Single phase PMBL DC motor should have a non-uniform airgap to achieve starting torque at all rotor positions.
� In case of fan with 1-ph. PMBL DC motor, when the fan is switched

� In case of fan with 1-ph. PMBL DC motor, when the fan is switched off, Jerky motion of rotor due to preferred parking position of the rotor.
