apostolakisl Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 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?

stusviews Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 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. Link to comment
