Re: 3.8 tarus fan install electrical issue
I would be suspicious of the switch, more specifically where you bought it from. Those fans do have a decent draw on them though.

Re: 3.8 tarus fan install electrical issue
This fan will pull over 100 amps at start up. I'm running delta current controls fan controller. It automatically controls the fan speed using a temp sensor.

Re: 3.8 tarus fan install electrical issue
What gauge wiring are you running? Here is a chart which shows what gauge you need for your expected amp draw and length.

Re: 3.8 tarus fan install electrical issue
I'm running 10 gauge wire to the controller. The DC controls unit slowly ramps the fan up to avoid the initial amperage spike.
