How do ceiling fans control speed?

How do ceiling fans control speed?

Fan speed is reduced by placing a capacitor in series with the switched live feed to the fan reduce power. The capacitor acts as a dropper. Speed depends on the value of the capacitor in circuit. The speed control switch selects a different capacitor to give different speeds.

How does fan control speed?

A fan speed controller controls the voltage across the fan and therefore indirectly controls its speed. A fan speed regulator actually measures and regulates the speed of the fan using its tachometer.

This certainly seems like a possible electrical fire threat!

Which is the Best Fan Controller for a PWM fan?

NA-FC1 is a flexible Noctua controller suitable for 4 pin PMW fans. It can work in two different modes – automatic, i.e. on its own to control the speed, and in pair with the automatic motherboard fan control. This Noctua controller allows changing the speed control dial, so you can set a PWM duty cycle from 0 to 100% manually.
