One Fanlinc, 3 fans?

Featured Replies

Posted

I have 3 fans on my back porch all wired to the same "dumb" switch.  I wanted to put them on a fanlinc and would prefer to use one fanlinc to run all 3 fans.  I don't have any desire to control the fans separate, having them all go to the same speed at the same time is perfect.

 

I see the fanlinc is rated to 1 amp for the fan, so obviously I need to check the amps and make sure that this is not an issue.  Has anyone used a single fanlinc connected to multiple fans?

It's as you surmised, the number of fans is inconsequential, just as the number of bulbs in a fixture/chandelier. It's the total load that matters. Also be aware that starting a motor draws more current than running one. An overrating factor of 1.5-2X is usually appropriate.
