Bigben:
Alright I have got three 12w 120vac case fans and one 60w 120vac floor fan (total of 96 watts) running on one of the controllers. No problems other than the normal one that most controllers have which is the max output is less than you would get if connected directly to the power source. This can be cured by using a dpdt switch that would flip between direct connect and fan controller connect. I will leave the fans on for a few hours to see if a failure will occur.
One other thing about these ac fan controllers that I like is the trimmer pot on them. You just set the speed control pot to its minimum speed position (the fan may not even turn at that point) then set the trimmer pot to the lowest rpm you want for that fan. Now the controller pot goes from your minimum rpm to the max the controller can do.
