What is the working principle of ceiling fan?

Answer Posted / raghu

Ceiling fan is a Single phase Induction
motor. Generally we use a capacitor
start &Run AC Motor for ceiling Fans.
Motor principle: whenever current
carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field-it experiences force.
Stator: supplied by 1-phase voltage,
current will produce in the stator
winding-so magnetic field. But AC
motor needs a rotating magnetic
field in
order turn the motor shaft (fan
blades). This is done by applying
voltage with
different phases to different windings.
In a single phase system (like at your
house where you would use a ceiling
fan) there is only one voltage phase.
The capacitor is used to provide a
phase shift (i.e. a time offset between
currents)
in the windings of the motor, making
it
appear that the motor is operating in
a
multiphase system.In Simple Terms, A
single Phase is Split Into Two. There
are
also other methods to split Phase But
using a capacitor is less expensive.
Now we have magnetic field.
We need current carrying conductor:
Because of Induction, voltage will
develop in rotor as It is a closed
circuit
current will produce-so current
carrying conductor placed in
magnetic field.
Rotor will rotate.

We are planning to synchronized DG's with our captive plant in the event of black start of plant, but before sync we checked voltage of DG with our plant voltage and it varies from 5 V to 450 V. So in this condition how we can sync DG with plant ?
