Product Details

The KB Electronics variable speed control provides infinite speed settings for shaded pole and permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. It features a maximum amperage rating of 6.0, meaning the motor’s nameplate amperage must not exceed this rating to prevent damage to both the control and the motor. Motors must operate with sufficient torque to avoid stalling, and should have a fan blade installed on the motor shaft (direct drive) to ensure proper cooling. This control is not suitable for use with gear motors, and installed controls are non-returnable.
  • Maximum Amperage: 6.0A
  • Voltage: 115V
  • Applications: Fans, blowers, wet vapor applications
