Would this SSR be suitable for a 1hp inductive load? Specifically, two parallel 0.5hp cage fans.

I have been using it to control a chest freezer compressor, which I believe to be an inductive load, for two months now and it's going strong. Check the current ratings on the fans, but I think you'd be okay.

I bought one at Home Depot (here in the US) years ago for that use and it has worked fine, so I bought another here on Amazon about 6 months ago for another fan and it has worked fine as well. The biggest factor that i know you must watch is the load capacity. I'm not sure about "inductive timer" requirements, but there are some that clearly state that they are only to be used for lights and not on fans because the load is too great.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

Not to date but I would assume it would be OK. Unit runs at a very constant speed as measured by the output voltage. Sorry I can't answer from actual experience.

I am sorry but I can't tell you if it works for your needs but most are adaptable to fit as long as the voltage and amperage are within the required levels. I purchased 2 of these but not for conventional uses. I built a prototype cooling system for my a/v receiver. Have had no problem with the fans and it drop the operating temp by 30 degrees. As far as computers, not sure. Sorry

Since I knew there had to be an electrical label for the fan (it's required), I finally found it stamped into the plastic on the underside of the stand. The rating for the HT-900 is 0.6 amps. That's probably the max it draws at startup.

No, the reason is that this is not rated for inductive loads, such as a motor. It may actually work, but the manufacturer has specifically said it will not.

Presumably so. I use mine to power an HK Quattro. The cooling fan rarely needs to run - just in hot weather. I have been very pleased with this power supply.

I think that would work well. I have mine mounted both mounted under my receiver so they blow up through it. There is no back on mine so it has lots of room to free flow out. The fans work very well they turn off and on as needed and are very quiet. Hope this helps.

The internal fan is very quite but not up to the task of high loads (20+ amps) for long periods. I hooked a 120mm 12v computer fan up to the terminals and just place it on top of the unit with the fan pulling air through the power supply and out the fan. I can touch the rear heat sink now when I have heavy loads, before it was way to hot. 12 volt computer fans can handle voltage from 6-15v just fine. Just a tip.

Yes im running 2 12in comp Rs at 1 ohm there's plenty of power.best amp ive had so far no problem gets a little hot at 1 ohm but doesn't overheat and go to emergency shutoff

Yes it would! I likes this fan so much i bought 2 more for other projects! Running it from a cigarette lighter power you will want to put a 5 amp fuse on it. Also this fan moves alot of air! I also purchased a speed controller for 10 more dollars and im able to fine tune the air output to the exact speed i need and it is a real simple system to hook up in only a fiew minutes. I am very pleased with these great quality fans and i promise you will be thrilled with it! If you have any further questions let me know. dondanielknight@yahoo

So is mine. I think that's just the way it's designed. Having the fan thermostatically controlled doesn't imply that the fan should necessarily be off at no load.I run mid-power radio transceivers with this supply. It's pretty apparent just listening to the fan speed whether the radio is idle, transmitting at 5W, or going all out at 100W.

Negative... These units run on the standard NEMA/US AC current. The closest fan you are likely to fine would be a 12 volt automotive style with a cigarette outlet adapter in another brand.

Dear Dale, what is the current rating of the fan? the converter can supply 3A maximum. Beware that you cannot exceed the input voltage (40V). 36 VDC is fine if the source doesn't generate spikes above 40V. A 12 gauge wire is massive, much more than you need for the 3A this converter can supply. Again, I have no idea if it is enough for your fan. Regards, Jorge

From what I understand, as long as the sending units on both fans are on the same setting (which it sounds as if yours are) there shouldn't be a problem.
