Overview
Versa Drives’ BLDC ceiling fan platform combines a high-efficiency 3-phase BLDC motor with a dedicated, sensorless FOC controller designed specifically for ceiling fan applications. It is optimised for very low power consumption, smooth torque at low speed, and silent operation in homes and light-commercial spaces.
This platform has been engineered and refined through more than a decade of field use in Superfan range of BLDC ceiling fans in India, giving OEMs access to a proven motor–controller combination with a clear path to BEE 5-star and beyond in their own ceiling fan ranges.
Where this platform is used
- Premium residential BLDC ceiling fans with ultra-low power consumption
- Super-efficient fans designed to meet or exceed current BEE 5-star requirements
- Ceiling fans with under-light, sensors, or smart connectivity (Wi-Fi, voice, app)
- Export-market ceiling fans for hot climates requiring high airflow and low energy use
- Fan ranges where quiet operation and stable low-speed performance are critical
Key Capabilities – Motor & Controller
| Motor type | 3-phase BLDC / EC motor optimised for ceiling fan torque and speed profile |
|---|---|
| Input supply |
Single-phase 230 V AC, typical operating range 180–265 V AC for Indian grid conditions. Platform can be adapted for 110–120 V, 60 Hz markets for export variants. |
| Output power envelope | Optimised for ~25–40 W ceiling fans (1200 mm sweep), scalable up to ~60 W for larger sweeps. |
| Control method | Sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) for high efficiency, smooth starting and very low audible noise |
| Speed control options |
Step or stepless speed control with smooth low-speed stability. Options for IR/RF remote, wall controller, or digital interface as per OEM requirement. |
| System performance |
Tuned for ultra-low input power at full speed (typical BLDC ceiling fan in 25–35 W range; model-dependent). High power factor and low harmonic distortion to support compliance with appliance standards. |
Proven in Superfan BLDC Ceiling Fans
This platform is the basis of the Superfan BLDC ceiling fan range, one of the earliest and most efficient BLDC ceiling fans in India. Years of field operation across diverse installations have validated:
- Reliable performance under wide voltage variations and challenging power conditions
- Consistent low power consumption and high airflow over long usage hours
- Robustness of motor–controller design for Indian residential and institutional environments
For OEMs and private labels, this means you are starting from a design with real-world operating history, not from a lab-only prototype.
OEM Integration & Customisation
We work with OEM engineering and product teams to adapt the platform to their mechanical, electrical, and brand requirements:
Motor geometry and winding
- Custom stator/rotor configurations and winding options for different sweep sizes and blade designs
Firmware / control
- Custom speed steps, ramp profiles, and torque tuning for specific blade aerodynamics
- Optional eco / sleep modes, boost modes, or application-specific profiles
Interfaces
- Support for your own remote / wall controller design
- Hooks for IoT or third-party smart modules (Wi-Fi, BLE, other gateways)
Compliance and documentation
- Support for meeting BEE star-rating targets and relevant safety/performance standards in target markets
