Re: Wiring the fans
Which fans? The compact fans can be wired directly to the input power terminals if ATTACHED to the Victor speed controller (R60). Otherwise, it would seem they fall under the motor rules, requiring a breaker-protected spike or speed controller to operate each one. This is strictly my opinion, and you can ask the GDC if you want an official answer. Anyone else is welcome to chime in.
