I have an attic fan that has two speeds and the low speed is still a bit noisy.
I'd like to add a speed controller like this one at Amazon: Enerlites Fan Control . This is rated for 5 amps.
The fan draws 4.7 amps on high and 2.4 amps on low.
I think it's a PSC motor. I can see a cap that is wired into the motor. Likely a start cap, I don't know if there's a run cap but I could check.
What are the ramifications of putting a speed controller on this motor? Overheating, motor life, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your help!
