fitting electric fan to old 110

<< < (2/2)

Hightower : it's a variable type.. little control on the top of the housing
Snezza : Can't remember the price TBH.   The aluminium housing goes in the top hose, one chop and 2 jubilee clips.
If you have a twin 12V fan, then they would be wired in parallel

Well I managed to wire in the fan but only worked when one fan was live.  When both were connected the 35amp fuse blew.  As the fan was from a Mondeo, I thought I'd go to Ford (big mistake) to source the relay.  They didn't hold them on the shelf and couldn't even tell the correct ampage for their relay.  Gambled on a 40 amp but when I rewired it still blew the fuse.  Now I have the Kenlowe which is working fine, I do not seem to have any probs with overheating (one fan cools it OK).  Will consider a second Kenlowe to run the second fan on a higher temp for when it really gets hot.
If anyone has any other ideas to run both fans off one switch please let me know.......

muddyweb:
As mentioned earlier, its probably due to the startup current of the motor.  One option would be to use 2 relays, one on each fan, each with its own fused feed.

wizard:
I have a few of these if any one is interested.
