I have a cheap automotive radiator fan ( 12VDC, < 7A ) I want to use as a variable speed exhaust fan for a trailer. Hooking it up to a variable power supply for testing, the speed was easily adjustable by either voltage or current.
When I tried hooking it up to a couple different PWM controllers, the fan only ran at full speed. Not certain, but I think the PWM's are 13kHz. Am I right in assuming something in the 20kHz+ range will work better, or am I missing something here?
