ceiling fan regulator motor speed
The ceiling fan regulator circuit operates by utilizing the Z0607 TRIAC, which functions as a switch that can control the power supplied to the fan motor. The TRIAC is triggered by the variable resistor (R1), allowing for precise adjustment of the phase angle of the AC supply voltage. This phase control method effectively reduces the average voltage supplied to the fan, thereby controlling its speed.
The variable resistor (R1) is crucial for this application, as it enables the user to select the desired speed of the fan. By adjusting R1, the firing angle of the TRIAC can be modified, which in turn affects the amount of power delivered to the motor. The higher the resistance set on R1, the later the TRIAC is triggered in the AC cycle, resulting in a lower average voltage and reduced fan speed.
Capacitor C1 (2A104J) plays a significant role in filtering and stabilizing the circuit. It helps to smooth out voltage fluctuations and can also influence the timing characteristics of the TRIAC's triggering. The capacitor's value and type are selected to ensure reliable operation and to mitigate any electrical noise that may affect the performance of the circuit.
