Since capacitor stored electrical that is why it serve as means of Starting to the ceiling fan. Ceiling fan consists of two coils:
a- Starting coil.
b- Running Coil
a- Starting coil has responsible for fan starting with the support of capacitor. This means if there is no continuity in starting coil, the fan will not start. It must recoil
b- Running coil has responsible of running the fan as far as Electrical supply not switch off. In this side magnetic effect was took place.
POSSIBLE FAULTS
Ceiling fan fault can be from capacitor, when it is in open circuit.Also when Coils burnt out. Fault Bearing when it is lubricated. For replacing capacitor rating must be observed, otherwise higher rating can course burn out of coils.
