Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a fan, a system, and an air conditioner. The method includes: turning off a first bridge arm group in an inverter of the fan; applying a preset driving signal to a second bridge arm group in the inverter; detecting an electrical signal of a stator of the fan after the preset driving signal is applied; determining an initial state of the fan according to the electrical signal of the stator of the fan, wherein the initial state of the fan includes a downwind forward state, a static start state, or an unwind reverse state; and providing the fan with a control signal matching the initial state of the fan according to the initial state of the fan.
