  2. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_fan

    This type of motor has become the de facto standard for today's fans; it is used in all Hampton Bay and Harbor Breeze ceiling fans sold today, and has commonly been used by most other brands. Spinner-motor fans, sometimes incorrectly referred to as "spinners", employ a direct-drive (spinner) motor and do have a stationary decorative cover ...

  3. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    Motor capacitors are used with single-phase electric motors [3]: 11 that are in turn used to drive air conditioners, hot tub/jacuzzi spa pumps, powered gates, large fans or forced-air heat furnaces for example. [1] A "dual run capacitor" is used in some air conditioner compressor units, to boost both the fan and compressor motors. [1]

  4. Static synchronous compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_synchronous_compensator

    The MMC topology is similar to the three-level in that switching on various IGBTs will connect different capacitors to the circuit. As each IGBT "switch" has its own capacitor, voltage can be built up in discrete steps. Adding additional levels increases the number of steps, better approximating a sine wave.

  6. High-volume low-speed fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-volume_low-speed_fan

    Larger diameter fans can move more air than smaller fans at the same speed. A turbulent, high velocity air jet dissipates very quickly. A large column of air, however, "travels" farther than a small one due to the friction between moving air and stationary air, which occurs at the periphery of the moving column.

  7. Casablanca Fan Company - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_Fan_Company

    In 1979, Casablanca introduced their Silent-Flex flywheel to replace the milled-aluminum flywheels they had been using prior. The Silent-Flex flywheel was a double-torus made of soft rubber with die-cast zinc reinforcements that acted as a shock absorber to virtually eliminate the transmission of vibration and noise from the fan's motor to the blades.

  8. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    Electrolytic capacitors differ from other capacitor types, whose capacitances are typically measured at 1 kHz or higher. For tantalum capacitors a DC bias voltage of 1.1 to 1.5 V for types with a rated voltage of ≤2.5 V or 2.1 to 2.5 V for types with a rated voltage of >2.5 V may be applied during the measurement to avoid reverse voltage.

  9. Polymer capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_capacitor

    The predominant application of all electrolytic capacitors is in power supplies.They are used in input and output smoothing capacitors, as decoupling capacitors to circulate the harmonic current in a short loop, as bypass capacitors to shunt AC noise to the ground by bypassing the power supply lines, as backup capacitors to mitigate the drop in line voltage during sudden power demand or as ...
