Anchor Roma 5-Step Fan Regulator, 100W, 2 Module, White
- Brand: Anchor by Panasonic
- Product: Roma Fan Regulator, 5 Step
- Power Rating: 100W
- Control: Standard fixed rotary knob (not 360°), 5 speed steps
- Module Size: 2 Module
- Colour: White
- Packaging: 01 Nos
- Application: Standard induction-motor ceiling fans in homes, offices and rental properties
Anchor Roma Fan Regulator gives you simple, reliable control of your ceiling fan's speed in 5 fixed steps using a standard rotary knob. The knob turns between a start and end position – it is not a 360° endless knob. Rated at 100W, it suits standard ceiling fans and fits a 2-module space in the Anchor Roma modular range.
It is capacitor-based, using metallised polypropylene capacitors rather than old-style resistors. This means it doesn't waste power as heat, stays energy-efficient at lower speeds and runs quietly with standard induction-motor fans. The compact capacitor design also keeps the module lightweight and cool, unlike bulky, hot resistor regulators. An economical, dependable choice for homes, rental properties and builder projects.

Recommendations & Ideal Use-Cases
Where this fits best
- Bedrooms & Living Rooms: Easy speed control for everyday comfort
- Offices: Quiet, economical fan control
- Rental & Builder Projects: Value-priced choice for multiple units
- Replacements: Swap out old, hot resistor-type regulators
Installation Guidelines
- Power Off: Switch off the main supply and the fan circuit MCB
- Connect the Wires: Connect the incoming live (via the fan switch) to the regulator input and the outgoing wire to the fan, using 1.5 sq mm copper wire. The neutral goes directly to the fan, not through the regulator
- Mount the Module: Fit the regulator into a 2-module space in the Anchor Roma plate
- Test: Restore power and check the fan responds at all 5 speed steps
Electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician.
1) Is this a resistor-type regulator?
No. It is capacitor-based, using metallised polypropylene capacitors. Old resistor-type regulators wasted energy as heat, were bulky and often hummed. This regulator stays cool, saves energy at lower speeds and runs quietly.
2) Is it stepless?
No. It has 5 fixed speed steps. If you need smooth, continuously variable speed, choose a stepless electronic regulator instead.
3) Is the knob 360°?
No. It is a standard fixed rotary knob that turns between a start and end position. To go from speed 5 back to a lower speed, turn the knob back the other way.
4) Will it work with my ceiling fan?
It works with most standard induction-motor ceiling fans up to 100W. It is not suitable for BLDC (energy-saving) fans that come with their own remote or electronic speed control – check your fan's manual first.
5) Why does my fan hum?
A capacitor-based regulator normally runs quietly with standard ceiling fans. If you hear a hum, check that all connections are tight and that the fan is a standard induction-motor ceiling fan within 100W. If it continues, the unit or fan may need to be checked.
6) Do I need a separate fan switch?
Yes. A separate on/off switch (sold separately) lets you turn the fan off completely without changing the regulator setting, so your preferred speed is ready next time.
7) Can I use it for exhaust fans or table fans?
It is designed for ceiling fans. Don't use it with table fans, and check the manufacturer's advice before using it with an exhaust fan, as motor types vary.
