CEILING FANS
Ceiling fans offered shall be comply with MS IEC 60335-1, MS 1597 and MS 1220 and of JKR
approved brand and model. For 1500mm sweep ceiling fan, minimum air delivery at rated voltage at
full speed shall be not less than 210 m3/min. Safety thermal fuse (130˚C, 2A) shall be incorporated
against power surge and overheat.
All parts of the suspension system of the ceiling fan such as the fan hook, shank assembly, down rod,
motor shaft etc. shall be secured by means of high tensile steel shackle bolts; locknuts complete with
washers and spring washers and split
pins. Split pins shall be positioned as close as possible to the locknuts after the latter have been properly
tightened. Instructions as follows, in multi languages, shall be prominently displayed at the midway of
the suspension rod: “AMARAN - Ketatkan Semua Nut”. (In Malay & English)
Ceiling fans shall be provided with a supplementary independent suspension system (safety wire rope)
event of failure of the rod suspension system, the fan motor will be safely suspended by this safety wire
rope from the fan hook and electricity supply to the ceiling fan shall be disconnected. Disconnection of
electricity supply to the ceiling fan shall be accomplished without snapping or damaging the supply
cable of the ceiling fan point. It shall also not result in exposing any live terminal within the ceiling fan.
The material used for the safety wire rope shall be anti-corrosive type. Design and construction of the
safety wire rope and disconnection of electricity supply shall be subject to the approval of JKR. These
features must be assembled in the manufacturer's factory.
Standard rod ceiling fans shall be preassembled in the manufacturer’s factory. The down rod shall be
minimum 225mm (factory supplied) and more than 225mm of modified (non standard rod) must
supplied by the same manufacturer, similar material, complete with safety wire rope, marking and
installation instruction.
The rubber suspension bush shall properly fit the shank assembly. The upper canopy shall be so secured
that it will not slide downward. All ceiling fan shall be provided with suitable earth terminal. The
capacitors used shall be of dry selfhealing, metalised polypropylene type.
All ceiling fans shall be provided with matching speed regulator of the ventilated type complete with
earth terminal. The regulator knob shall be secured in such a way that it can only be removed by a tool.
Fan shall be fitted with well-balanced blades with proper identification to prevent mixing of blades. All

SECTION 2: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
ceiling fan points shall be completed with speed regulator mounting block and 3 way connector. Where
a ceiling fan is installed near a beam, the suspension rod of the ceiling fan shall be of suitable length
such that there is a clearance of not less than 75mm between the underside of the beam and the fan
blades.
Capacitors for use with ceiling fan motors shall comply with IEC 60252-1. The rated voltage shall be at
least 500VAC with a rated frequency of 50Hz and a maximum permissible operating temperature of
85˚C.
The windings of the capacitors shall be contained in a casing made from fire retardant material and shall
be totally encapsulated with a thermosetting resin.
The capacitors shall be designed for a minimum life expectancy of 10,000 hours (Class B as defined in
IEC 60252-1) when operating continuously at the rated voltage, temperature and frequency.
