- Hi all; What is the best way to slow down a 117vac blower. Have lots of air could use a little less noise. Lamp dimmer will work but think the motor would overheat that way. -- 73's Bob Dodson Dahlon

- Dentron, Amp Supply used a series resistor to provide a 2 speed effect with muffin fans. I see no reason why it will not work on a blower. I would start with something around 300-500 Ohm 25-50W adjus

- ? Johan - - When I tried it there were heating problems. My guess is that the correct way to slow down a capacitor-run motor is to decrease the frequency and voltage of the supply. As I understand i
