What is an Electrites Fan Speed Control?

A fan speed control is similar to a dimmer switch, but instead of being designed specifically for lights it is designed for fans. Just like a dimmer lowers or increases the brightness of a lamp a fan speed control does the same but only in regards to the fans speed. It can also be designed to work with both fans and lights.

What are the controls for a Fan Speed Control?

  • Rotary control features a dial that is used to change the speed of the fan. The speed can be adjusted by turning the dial from left to right. The fan will achieve full speed when turned to the far right position and will be at its slowest when turned to the far left position.
  • Slide control offers precise speed and brightness control for your lights and fan. Full brightness or speed is achieved when the slider is at the top of switch and the light or fan is at its dimmest or slowest when the slider is at the bottom of the switch.

What is Single Pole vs. 3 Way?

  • A single-pole switch, also referred to as a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch, controls one circuit and is either "on" or "off." To illustrate, a single pole switch is the only means of controlling a certain circuit.
  • A Three-way switch, also referred to as a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch, alternates between two circuits instead of being "on" or "off." To illustrate, a light or group of lights can be controlled by two switches in different locations.

Where to use Single Pole vs. 3 Way?

  • Single pole is ideal for locations with a single point of entry like a bedroom, bathroom, or office.
  • 3 Way is ideal for locations with multiple points of entry like a hallway or stairwell.

What’s the difference between a pole and throw?

  • The number of poles that a switch has tells you how many individual circuits the switch can control.
  • A throw count tells you how many positions a switch’s poles can connect to. If a switch has two throws, for instance, will tell you that a single circuit (pole) can connect to one of the two terminals.
