## Description

Taiss Rotary Switch 4 Position 3 Speed Fan Switch 12A 250V/16A 125V Metal Fan Heater Speed Selector Switch with Knob and terminals F-040: desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Good quality - This thing is heavy duty and work perfectly to replace my three-speed fan switch in my outdoor range hood
Review: Terminal C on switch was not used - I had a vintage hassock fan that needed a new switch and electric cord. I bought this switch, it has 5 terminals: H M L B C. The fan motor had 4 wires Black, Blue, Red, Yellow. I didn’t have much to go on, as the old switch was pretty trashed out. Black fan wire was put on L, Blue fan wire on M, and Red fan wire on H. The electric cord was a two pronged extension cord which I cut the outlet end off. The cord has a black (hot) wire and a white (neutral) wire. Attach the hot wire to B terminal and connect the white neutral wire to the remaining yellow wire of the fan. Do not connect them to C. I made the mistake of attaching the white and yellow to C and I had to replace the wall outlet! It took less than a fraction of a second to get really hot and blow. Luckily, no damage was done to the switch or fan and the outlet was replaced! I’m happy to report that somebody on desertcart who also had left a review for this switch said C terminal wasn’t used in this case. Also happy that all is working good on this old fan. First click is High speed, second click is Medium speed, then the third click is Low speed. Then when you turn the switch counterclockwise, it goes to M then H then off.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with wiring instructions for blower fans?**
A: Not really inst.for blower has inst. For wiring.

**Q: I need a 4-position switch for a DC project.  Does this alter the current for the positions, or does it just send the current to the terminals?**
A: Just sends the voltage to the terminal that is switched to. Current is dependent upon the load at the different terminals.

**Q: My current golf cart fan switch only has two wires for the previous 3 speed fan. Can this be wired for 3 speeds or will only one speed be its option?**
A: I believe the switch you have is a rheostat switch, it can send different voltage to the fan to control the fan speed. This switch sends the same voltage to 3 different wires in the fan motor with a different winding which then controls the fan speed.
