ELECTRIC FAN
Electronic Products Assembly And Servicing
GRADE 9
Electric Fan - is an air
moving machine used to cool
with an AC Motor connected
to the 60 Hz power source
which converts electrical
energy to mechanical energy
in order to generate a moving
air.
 Front Guard. It is a protective metal
mesh wire used to prevent the fan blade from any
physical contact with foreign objects.

 Guard Mark. It is a logo of the

manufacturer of the electric fan which is mounted
at the center of the front guard.

agitates air when the motor rotates.

 Remote Control. It is a transmitter

device used to control the electric fan from a
distance.
 Power Controller. It is a circuit that
controls the amount of power Supplied to the
motor.

 Sensor It is the input receiver that detects

input signal coming from remote control.

 Manual Control. It is a push button switch

that controls manually operation of the electric fan.

 Non-polarized Capacitor. A low

reactance non-polar capacitor connected in series
with the start winding of an electric fan.
 Timer. It is used to switch on or switch off
automatically with predetermined time.

 AC Motor. It is rotating electric machine

which changes applied electrical energy or power
into mechanical output energy or power.

 AC Plug. It is a connector intended for

connecting to the main source 220 V.
