It’s important to know the correct ceiling fan voltage for your home. The voltage of a ceiling fan depends on its size and speed. A 52-inch fan can consume between 85 and 100 watts at high speeds. That is about the same as three 60-watt light bulbs, or 280 watts per fan. However, a 120-volt, 15-amp circuit can supply as much as 1880 watts. This means that four 280-watt ceiling fans would only use half of the total power consumed by the circuit.
Ceiling fans require a minimum of 110/120-volt electricity. Most ceiling fans in the United States use a voltage of 120-volts. The average amp draw is between 200 milliamps and one amp. A typical 30-inch ceiling fan consumes about 42 watts, while a 36-inch model draws around 55-watts. A 50-inch model uses 88-watts, while a 60-inch model uses up to 102-watts.
Ceiling fans are delicate equipment. A low voltage can cause the fan to stop, while a high voltage can cause sparks in the electric motor. If you can’t reduce the voltage without reducing the fan’s speed, you can reduce the frequency of the fan. However, this has its limitations, especially for single-phase motors. Therefore, it’s best to consult with a licensed electrician before you start installing a ceiling fan.
The voltage of a ceiling fan can vary depending on where you live. For example, if the fan is used outdoors, it may need a 230-volt outlet. In the U.S., the official voltage is 230-volts, but the frequency is typically 240-volts.
