Abstract: “A brushless DC (BLDC) motor is a synchronous electric Motor powered by direct-current (DC) electricity and having an electronic commutation system, rather than a mechanical commutator and brushes. In BLDC motors, current to torque and voltage to rpm are linear relationships. This linearity provides an excellent opportunity to use the BLDC motor in the conventional ceiling fans. This paper presents practical implementation of such BLDC motor for ceiling fan application along with the actual power measurements in comparison with conventional ceiling fans. Complete electronics and the associated advantages and disadvantages of this BLDC ceiling fans are also presented”
