ac motor control

  1. Calculating the value of the resistance for controlling the speed of AC fan

    i have a single phase ac fan that i would like to control its speed i am a bit new in this field so please bear with me i had the idea of fixing 3 speeds with 3 switches one for each speed: (25% 50% 90%), and 3 relays each switch activates a relay and each relay wired in series with a...

    Derating a switch's load rating with inductive load

If a switch is rated at 25A @ 125 VAC, it will handle the continuous current, but might there be a reliability issue over time due to contact arcing at turn on?
