Abstract

Ceiling fans are ubiquitous appliances used in residential and commercial spaces for air circulation. Their widespread use contributes significantly to global energy consumption. Enhancing the energy efficiency of ceiling fan motors is critical to reducing overall energy demand. This paper focuses on the development and optimization of a single-phase energy-efficient induction motor specifically designed for ceiling fans. It explores motor design principles, material selection, and advanced technologies such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to improve energy performance. Additionally, the paper presents a comparative analysis between traditional motors and the proposed energy-efficient model, demonstrating significant energy savings without compromising performance. The research highlights the potential for widespread adoption of such motors to enhance energy conservation efforts.
