Posting here because I have read more knowledgeable posts on electricity here than anywhere else.
Purchased 2 Westinghouse 7861400 model fans. The limited information I can get off them on the web is here:
http://www.westinghouselighting.com/ceiling-fans/56-inch-ceiling-fan/industrial-56-inch-three-blade-indoor-ceiling-fan-7861400.aspx
Claims .5 Amps and 60 watts at high.
Problems:
#1. the included controller has 5 speed setting yet, the slowest speed is not slow enough.
#2. I want to run two fans off the same controller and possibly three.
I know enough about electricity that you just can't go hooking a motor, let alone multiple motors up to just any variable speed controller or dimmer type switch.
Can someone provide some insight on what an infinitely variable speed controller (up to max rpm of motor) that I can use on up to three fan motors?
I have no problem buying an industrial type controller. The fans were really affordable.
Thanks
Dave
