Fan speed vs Electricity Bill

Do increasing Fan speed really increases Electricity bill or Does it really consumes power?



The answer is Yes, but not too much, a very small amount.

Simply, power consumption is defined as current times voltage. Keeping fixed supply to any home or office (220-240 V ideally and fixing 220V for experimental purpose) and monitoring the unit of current with clamp meter, the observations are below.

Fan speed 1- 0.205A

1 hour: 0.205A* 220V = 45.1W

12 hour: 45.1W*12 = 541.2 W 

The same 12 hours run for 30days(1 month) = 16.23 units 

Fan speed 2- 0.240A

 1 hour: 0.240A* 220V = 52.8W

12 hour: 52.8W * 12 =  633.6 W

The same 12 hours run for 30days(1 month) = 18.99 units 

Fan speed 3- 0.272A 

1 hour: 0.272A*220V = 59.84W

12 hour: 59.84W * 12 = 718.08W

The same 12 hours run for 30days(1 month) = 21.54 units 

Note: 1 Kw/1000 w= 1 unit

Please remember to surround the clamp meter only with phase line, and exclude the neutral line. If by mistake included both, the clamp meter shows zero reading.

The diff in units between each fan speed is more or less than 3 units.

So roughly, running at speed 3 versus to the lowest speed 1, it will vary from 10-15 rupees (Tamil Nadu tariff). 

Inclusive of Tamil Nadu, in any country or state, the amount charged for 3-5 units would be very minimal.

Hence, Justified :)

Id proofs - Indian Citizenship

Pan card: Pan card acts as an identifier to get all the tax-related transactions made by any Indian citizen with the income tax department. It is of a constant 10 digit error pattern , including both numbers as well as alphabets.  PAN stands for permanent account number (PAN). Taxpayers do have this card and it will be processed for each tax deductions, claim ans IT returns filling. PAN card is also important to verify and linked with Purchase of a Loan Purchase of a Vehicle Purchase of a Debit/Credit card Purchase of any Jewellery  Purchase of anu property/land. Aadhar card: Aadhar is a 12 digit unique number acts as a unique identifier for any Indian citizen provided by UIDAI on behalf of Government of India with entire lifetime validity. It acts as a proof for our address, age and gender, and it determines the individuality of each person in India builded with 4 demographics and 3 biometrics.It also stands as wonderful ID  proof over any travels, bank account creation,...

Evidence Based Skin Care Routine

Image
What is a good skin care routine? Any skin care pattern made with the help of skin care products, for better proliferation and quality of skin was called as good skin care routine. Does this really works, if yes, Justify? The routines which I’m prescribing are scientific /evidence based techniques , means these active ingredients of the components are tested to a set of people/group and the other group left with normal cream, and when we say that it was evidence/scientifically proven , these group of people who used active ingredients shows more result compared to group of people who are under normal cream. As I said in the testing phase, it was carried to group of people with varied characteristics of skin and DNA structure, so already a person who has good skin visibility might sounds a little change, but for a person who has more acne and pigmentation, it will be a drastic change! Change is assured, the level of change varies from people to people :) Does this work irrespective of S...
