Additional related video.
The Trader MEFC is a three speed rotary fan controller mechanism rated 250V AC at 3A, supplied with a 1.6uF to 2.3uF 75VA capacitor. The capacitor provides speed control for the most common style of AC ceiling fan motor, and it mounts below the mechanism behind the wall plate. The MEFC clips into many Australian wall plates, including plates using the common Clipsal style aperture, and arrives with a standard white knob fitted.
A ceiling fan that has lost its speed separation, or crawls on every setting, is often a controller and capacitor problem rather than a motor problem. Replacing an entire fan over a failed controller is an expensive conversation with a customer. The MEFC addresses that repair directly, because the 1.6uF to 2.3uF 75VA capacitor restores proper speed steps on common AC fan motors. The mechanism clips into many Australian wall plates, so the existing plate and cover normally remain on the wall.
A controller replacement is a short service call with a predictable parts cost, which makes it profitable maintenance work. The MEFC arrives as a matched mechanism and capacitor, so there is no guessing which capacitor value the installation requires. Three speed positions at 250V and 3A cover the ceiling fans most commonly found in Australian housing. Carrying a couple in the vehicle converts a slow fan complaint into a same-visit repair.
The data sheet specifies capacitor speed control for AC fan motors, so fans supplied with their own dedicated controller or a DC motor sit outside the scope of this mechanism. The supplied knob does not fit Clipsal fan controller shafts, because the shaft sizes differ. The MEFC is a fan speed controller rather than a lighting dimmer, and installation is licensed electrical work on a mains circuit.
