I recorded a video… in this video it shows 3 fans. These are Hunter Gallegos AC fans, and have no pull chains. The speeds are operated completely by Inovelli VZM35-SN wall switches. The switches are set at “low” (33%) speed.

The fan in the front is by itself on a switch. You’ll notice the speed. All single fans in my house that are tied to a switch, are running at this speed.

The two fans in the back are tied together, being controlled by a single switch. You’ll notice that the double fans are running slower than the single fan. In two places in my house, I have this two-fan on one-switch setup, and in both places, the fans run slower. To test, I disconnected one of the fans, and the other fan ran at normal speed. It’s only running slower when two fans are connected to the single switch.

Is this normal?

    Are these fans wired in series instead of parallel?

    Maximum Load (Watts): 2.5 Amps (No more than 2 fans on the switch)

  • @asinine there are two fans on the switch. Commented Oct 23, 2023 at 19:47
  • @asinine I saw the same specs. And then checked the fan specs - 44W, which is < 0.5A per fan. So in theory 2 of the same fan type should work. Commented Oct 23, 2023 at 19:47
