Power consumption of fans.

Thanks friend for your useful information, so far I have been informed that it will always consume the same power, what ever may be the speed as the power supplied to regulator is same. Still I am having slight confusion here.

I think it depends on how exactly the regulator works. A very early method of regulating the speed of a fan (or the power supplied to a light bulb, for example) might be to have a constant load - resistance - off which one drew what power was needed by a potential divider - the rest would have to be dissipated in heat somehow. I have a 2 speed fan by my desk and the switch does not seem to do anything as crude as that. The motor either has two windings which can be switched, there is electronics to limit the power (a thyristor) or there is a mechanical gearing which allows the fan to run at two speeds. What ever way is used, it certainly consumes less power at the slower speed, though I do not have an ammeter to tell me precisely how much. There are, in fact, several ways in which one can limit the power drawn by a load using alternating current and all of the ones commonly used today restrict the actual mean current drawn and thus use less overall power. The power used at half the speed is never, of course, exactly half the power used at full speed (there is always a small amount of power used by the limiting device) but it is certainly significantly less.

Thanks for your opinion and it seems it might be a true one

Thanks for your information and still i am referring some articles related to this.

Thanks a lot for your useful information friend. I am searching for this still, and if I find any thing with large deviation with our opinion, I will let you all know.
