Atomberg ceiling fans: When it comes to home appliances, ceiling fans are usually one of the longest-serving devices, keeping us and our homes cool. Once installed, fans can run for years if not decades, requiring nothing more than just general upkeep. But like all tech, these devices can also become faulty. One of the most common problems that occur in ceiling fans is the induction motor going bad, which, almost on all occasions, requires you to purchase a new fan altogether. Up until a few years ago, this was a straightforward task to achieve - simply go to your nearest electronics store and buy one of the more trusted brands in the market. But with the advancement in technology, that's not the case anymore. Yes, even something as simple as a ceiling fan has benefited from the tech growth!
If you've been on the internet searching for ceiling fans anytime in the last few years, one of the most prominent terms you'd have come across would be ‘BLDC fans'. So, what is this new technology that's taking over the ceiling fan industry and is it better than traditional fans that have had a place on our ceiling for decades?
BLDC stands for ‘Brushless Direct Current'. Unlike traditional fans which use a brushed motor with electromagnets to make the motor spin, BLDC fans use a brushless DC motor with permanent magnets without requiring a brush to spin. In BLDC motors, this is done with the help of magnets placed on the sides of the rotor.
Since a BLDC motor does not have brushes, it eliminates any sort of friction and allows the fan to run at higher RPMs while requiring less energy. This is one of the main reasons why this type of motor is used not just in fans but also in electric vehicles. BLDC fans have several advantages over ceiling fans with induction motors.
1. More energy efficient - Since BLDC fans have a brushless design with no commutator in between, they provide better energy efficiency, helping you keep your electricity bills low.
2. Quiet function, less heat - The
