Is energy savings on your mind? If yes this article will save you a fortune!

India as we know experiences extreme weather conditions in summer. A fan is an inevitable part of every office or household. However, there are a lot of innovations to make fan consumption more economic, kudos to every ceiling fan manufacturer doing extensive research and advancements.

BLDC is a new word that has evolved in the fan industry. Brushless direct current is shortened as BLDC. Ceiling or pedestal fans use this motor technology.

In this article, we will look at the differences between a BLDC fan and a regular fan. Let’s read on.

Regular Fan

Induction motors are used in regular fans. It is made up of a stator, which is the non-spinning component of the motor, and a rotor, which is the rotating part of the motor. When alternating current (AC) passes through the coil windings in the stator, it creates an oscillating magnetism. This field will interact with the rotor, causing it to spin.

The fan's speed can be adjusted by using a regulator. In the regulator, resistivity ...
... is employed to modulate speed. Because of the heat created by power loss, these regulators are inefficient. Because it is a brushed motor with mechanical contact, corrosions will occur over time.

BLDC Fan

Brushless DC (direct current) motor is used in BLDC fans that deploys an electrical circuitry to convert alternating electricity to direct current. It is made up of a stator, a rotor, and electronic circuitry.

The technique of motor commutation sets BLDC fans apart from regular fans. It is a technique of changing the direction of current flow in a motor. Because there is no mechanical friction in a BLDC motor, there is no abrasion over time.

PWM short of Pulse Width Modulation signals is used to regulate the speed. We can regulate the fan speed by altering the PWM signal. As a result, there is no resistive heat energy loss in the BLDC fan.

In the perception of long-term savings, the BLDC fan price is quite justifiable.

Overview of Differences

1. Regular fan
- Consumes more energy
- Uses alternating current
- Wears out overtime
- Needs to be operated physically
- Is noisier

2. BLDC fan
- Up to 65% energy savings
- Uses direct current
- Offers longer life due to brushless technology
- Can be operated with a remote controller
- Brushless motor is noiseless

Final Verdict

Clearly, BLDC fans are unmatchable! The cost of acquisition needs to consider but the savings it offers makes it a more cost-effective alternative to regular fans.
