Usha made legendary fans in the 90's almost everyone had an Usha in their homes. Prima, Kohinoor, Kohinoor Super Deluxe, Pulsar, Astra, Senator and Windsor. These were true legends
senator, pulsar and astra, were just like cg's hs, riviera and zapar. windsor was like avancer/aura and kohinoor super deluxe was like high speed decora.
i too had usha prima of 60s with very broad blades. it used to blow storms of air. unfortunately i had to retire it after sometime. but anyways today i own striker galaxy and bloom daffodil which are much better than cg 230 cmm fans. and i will continue buying more ushas in the future
Although i did see a Crompton princess very recently, also had seen another about a year ago which was still working just fine. I probably had seen more of them as a kid in the 2000s if im correct but eventually they aren't seen more than once in a bluemoon . Obviously nowadays all the shop owners encourage customers to buy bldc fans i think , because of enery saving reasons or such
@@heavydutymachine4102 actually those don't have much wattage as well. 70's is only 40-45W,many of the old fans Don't consume much especially the domestic ones like High Breeze and all but high speed fans used to do and also heavyweight industrial grade big size fans but domesticated like polar high breeze of 1970's in 56" it is 75+ watts! There is a difference,but people don't understand, today's fans are only good for eyes. Not for long run...old fans had both power saving and superstrong versions it is not only convened to Crompton Greaves,every single company had such. Just that the older generation doesn't care and we ppl show no interest in the reasearch of the roots. But at some point it is to be understood.older generation was more advanced rather than us sloggers and lazy people.although they kept it way simple. That's where the innovation starts. Old gives the new the identity it is in time today... nothing more than making money that's all.
I have 3 khaitan high breeze fans , two of them have a large motor and one has a slightly small motor. The ones with the large motors weigh close to 10 kg and the one with the smaller motor weighs about 7.3 kg. Btw i got these fans from our property which was said to be built in the 70s , i got them removed before they demolished the building along with another 4 more Khaitan magnete fans. Im curious to know if these Khaitan high breeze fans have the same threaded downrod system as you mentioned in this video , i wanted to install the high breeze fans in a part of our new home as they are quite vintage and different. But also they are very heavy and im not sure if they have a different method for installation
Actually Khaitan high breeze as you have mentioned has threaded rod...but in that one they have an iron block in which you shove the capacitor and hold it in place with two rubber bushes,and to remove the lower canopy you need to open the nut and remove the cotter pin as far as I know and the lower canopy has a rubber seal which shouldn't be misplaced else canopy will sit loose..and as threaded rod is no more available,you cannot install those just anywhere,if at all you want to then you need to use the original rod of the fan else don't disturb the threads as it will be of no use..if you want to do it at any cost then you have to make the rod and threads..upto you now..
@@electricalbro6308 Tbh a lot of my family members didn't support me with keeping the fans telling that they are very old and they wouldn't set well with our modern house. But the day we called the electrician to remove the electric meter before the demolition he told that those fans were very unique and we would never get such ones today , so my parents agreed to keep them until further decision. Thanks for your feedback on it , now I'll think about what to do. If I get a proper electrician who clearly knows how to handle these old fans then I'll think of installing them , else I'll probably sell them
@@heavydutymachine4102 I would recommend you keep them.dont give it up,well you can either use the fan with the original rod itself or you can make the rod.... that's upto you anyways...but I recommend don't give it.they will never fail you..no matter how many generations change,these fans will not fail so easily....main thing is false ceiling,if that's the case you need to make the rod and do the threading.else fine just install them like that.no worries there's a third option if you don't feel like harming the originality nowadays there are many options in interiors where you can just use it like that,if the contractor is also good enough,I'm sure they will help.i wish you good luck anyways.
@@electricalbro6308 will surely do my best to keep them , I originally planned to install the 3 high breeze fans at our top floor home theatre area , so there surely won't be any false ceiling work there. Also I have 4 Khaitan magnate fans and one fan which is named Khaitan " his highness " , it looks very similar to the 80s Usha Kohinoor super deluxe. I'm still processing on what I can do with them. Also all of them are in working condition
@@heavydutymachine4102 magnates can be installed on false ceiling,no worries even if you use unoriginal rod,his highness you need to check,both your choice and decision is really good!I appreciate that.very good.not many understand the value of these...glad you did.
Well explained! Superb fan! Crompton is nothing in front of this heavy quality fan! This USHA will blast both Crompton and some illiterates supporting it like as if its their own company!
Yes,the legacy isn't dead, still people have these running above their head and way better fans were made than Crompton Greaves that time.hope you enjoyed!
@@electricalbro6308 Obviously enjoyed your video! these fans will live longer than those cheap lightweight cromptons of 70s and 80s time. Usha is the first brand in India to make ceiling fan where as Crompton was British make when they came to India!
Also, Usha being an old company knew literally what is required to quench demands,maybe Crompton understood in a jiffy but western will always remain western, using Indian resources doesn't mean it becomes an Indian brand, also Crompton came predominantly in 1940's as Crompton Parkinson, and later existed as Crompton Greaves in early 60's, Usha came in early 30's and remained as Usha only until 1990's, later known as Usha Shriram and now Usha international, successor maybe bogus but predecessor has still kept the name up
@@electricalbro6308 Obviously! true! Usha was everything for India rather than CP and CG. Usha is the first brand to produce 14p, 24p and 16p motors. cg only had their junk 12p burning stator. Currently many hs fans from new stock is coming at my repair shop for rewinding! cheap junk quality! I would rather call it cursed fan!
HS burning is common nowadays,yes,Usha was first and master at making fans in India.i did see 2021 HS getting rewinded, can't say what will be future for induction motor

Prima, Kohinoor, Kohinoor Super Deluxe, Pulsar, Astra, Senator and Windsor.
These were true legends
Yes,true
exactly. in those days usha was as popular, just like how crompton is popular today. and yes, dont forget vectra and dynasty.
senator, pulsar and astra, were just like cg's hs, riviera and zapar. windsor was like avancer/aura and kohinoor super deluxe was like high speed decora.
How do I get a Kohinoor super deluxe now?
Nicely explained and the fan is 100% original
Thank you 😊

This fan was scary for me during my childhood
Ah
Old model fans were made up of cast iron which is twice heavier than today's fans
Yup,very true
