Hello,
I recently purchased a Dayton blower 12 volt DC motor model 2C646. I had intentions of controlling the speed of the motor with a rheostat switch which was a old switch that controlled the speed of a blower fan in a automobile. After purchasing the blower I read that it was not to be used with a speed controller. My question is, is a rheostat switch and a speed controller the same thing? If it use the rheostat switch will it damage the motor? Thank you.
