Damn you idiot fool! do what the hell you want and stop looking for
validation. I hope not to read about you in the news.

I am an electrician, not a HVAC tech. I told you what you need to know; the
techs told you not to do what you did.

You can fry your food in 3 in 1 oil too if you want; maybe it won't hurt
your giblets. why don't you try it and let us know.

there's lots of idiotic things people do and get away with until one day: a
Darwin award is presented. http://www.darwinawards.com/

Life is scary enough without looking for trouble. Maybe you're a tough gang
member who fears nothing?

"Running the motor at half voltage shouldn't pose a problem. 30 years
ago we
frequently did this to fan motors that were used in computer mainframes
when
it wasn't necessary to provide full cooling capacity and we never had a

problem with them. If the fan moves enough air to satisfy you, then
there
shouldn't be an electrical problem with it. The bearings, however, may
fail
after a few years of use because they were really designed to be used
with
the shaft in a vertical plane and not designed to handle a significant
side
load. "

This is an "expert" validation, not an opinion.


The naysayers are label readers with zero experiece outside the box.

Again: Have you EVER seen an AC fan burnt out running on half voltage?
One?

"(and we never had a problem with them)"
