For lack of a better place to post this, I have a 3 speed furnace fan motor(squirrel cage fan) that I salvaged. It has three separate wires, hi, med, low, and the common coming off the motor. I want to rig this up to uses as a fan in the shop, just for circulation. I want to use all three speeds. What kind of a switch do I need? -- A single pole, triple throw????Can I even find such a thing? I can rig it up with three separate switches, hooking all the commons together. Question: however, what would happen if I "accidently " flipped two of the switches on at the SAME time?
Home Depot guy said to use a ceiling fan switch, but that does not accommodate all three wires. ??? Thanks for responding to this non tractor question!!!
