Fan Speed controller

[Lucky 7]

I need control!!

After frying a potentiometer, searching the web for quite a while, & finally reading about my dilemma in this forum, I want somebody to take a look at this controller & affirm that this gizmo will satisfy my needs . . .

And NOT burn down my house!!

It's for a small 3-speed shelf fan that keeps my girls comfy, lol

Thanks!

That looks like it will work very nicely.
This thread may help you guys who wanna go a bit farther with your fan speed control:

Many thanks, HIDEyourBud!

And that's a nice piece of equipment you've designed.

I'm certain the really savvy DIY'ers will be able to use it.

Luck.... that speed controller looks like crap.... Get a solid state controller from your local hydro store that is fully rated and U.L. listed.

Here's a link to the real deal, its worth every penny. I use this to run a Vortex 4". Full on/off or variable speed, grounded.

Here's a link for the one pictured below... essentially the same item.

All that pic at BG is is a router speed control...NOTHING more.
