I. Have a small electric motor <1/2 hp- that operates as on/off(1 speed). I’d like to make this variable speed. A search has shown that there are several “fan speed” controllers out there. Will any of these work for me? What’s so specific about a fan motor vs a pump or power tool motor?
I originally wanted to experiment using a rheostat, but someone said it would be damaged by the motor. Is it really that hard to add an inline controller/dial to a small motor?
Thanks so much for your time and insights
