There are several ways to control ceiling fans and light kits.
Ceiling fan speed controller circuit.
The slow speed is obtained by using the 4 3uf capacitor purple p the medium speed is obtained by using the 2 1uf capacitor red r and the high speed is.
Note the crude circuit diagram on the black box object the fan speed controller i infer that the fan controller works by inserting a capacitance into the fan s power supply circuit.
A ceiling fan s wiring is integral when it comes to controlling its speed.
The source is at the switches and the input of each is spliced to the black source wire with a wire nut.
This wiring diagram illustrates the connections for a ceiling fan and light with two switches a speed controller for the fan and a dimmer for the lights.
Variable speed controls must be specially designed for use with ceiling fans.
In order to control the fan s speed the fan needs its own system of wires separate from that of the lighting element.
Ceiling fan and light kit control options.
If you install a ceiling fan without wiring it properly it may prove impossible to operate the fan without the light on and vice versa.
