I'm in the middle of building a portable air purifier and have a radiator fan I'm hoping to be able to connect to a power cord so that it can be easily plugged into a wall socket. It's a 12V 7.5A draw electric radiator fan. I talked to some people and have a potentiometer to be able to adjust the speed and a switch but I'm having trouble finding a transformer that can handle the amperage. Is this just too large to be hooked up how I propose or should I be looking for a different power option? I've been searching through different power cords I have but I really don't totally know what I'm doing with all of that.
Also, I'm not sure of the order from fan to socket but have an idea. I believe it's going to be:
Fan->potentiometer->switch->transformer->wall
correct? I just need to find a transformer above 7.5amps?
Thanks ahead of time,
