Will this power a 12VDC 10w 0.8A fan, without burning out the motor?

Without a controller and a battery, the answer is NO because this panel will put out almost 40 volts under no or a light load. With a controller and proper battery, it will do a fine job up to it's rated power.

I would look at the amp rating, but any DC power supply at 5V can run this fan. Just test it with old power adopters but make sure to read voltage on the back.

If your fan has a pullcord with 3 fan speeds and off, then I believe it will work. If it looks like the illustration, then it is worth the try! Just make sure you turn the power off to the circuit, or be very careful!

Yes, however you will need a 12 volt relay to handle the current to the motor.

No. Not what it is intended for. It takes 48 volts DC to 12 volts DC @ 10 amps

I was using this to control a cooling fan on a fifth wheel refrigerator. Had no problems with using it on 12VDC.

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

These fans are 12/24 DC, so you will need an AC-to-DC transformer between them and the AC outlet. The good news about this, however, is that the AC current draw will be VERY low.

That would all depend on what the wattage of the 12 volt fan is. Being that this solar panel is rated at 5 watts maximum it does not have too much output to run larger motors directly.

As long as the power can get cut to 12V this should work fine. Depending on how long and how much overexposure the fan get to the elements will effect the plastic housing in the long run.. James

I don't know; but if the fan motor draws less than 20-amps, I would think it can.

Yes, I have mine starting a 110 motor. The switch is rated at 12 amps, so check the rating first on your motor to make sure it isn't pulling more than 12 amps.

Check the watt rating on the A/C but I doubt it. It wouldn't even start the 120V blower motor on my home furnace. It did run a full size vacuum cleaner and a drill press with no problem. The thing to keep in mind is whether the inverter can handle the surge (appliances with motors draw more power at startup).

Yes as long as you don't exceed the controllers maximum current output. This unit at 12vdc draws 560milliamps

If the purpose is to use it as a speed control, I don't see why not except if the amperage of the motor exceeds the capability of the dimmer. This 12v dimmer is designed for low load LED lights. If you have a high load fan, like more than 1 amp, then probably not.

NO!!! if you want to use this in the house, you'll have to get a 12 volt adaptor. Make sure the adaptor you use can handle the amperage of the fan...it will tell you how many amps your fan draws on the box it came in...get an adapter with some "headroom" (in other words, if the fan motor draws 2 amps, get a 5 amp adaptor) -that way you won't have problems with the adaptor getting to hot and failing prematurely. I hope this helps! :)

If the controller is made for 12V fans, I don't see why not.. but I can not say for sure.. I don't know how they would fare if the voltage is limited..
