Hi all,
I have 2 identical small computer fans which I want to run from the mains, and they need wiring to an adapter, and I wanted to know which one would be right.
On the back of the fan, it says it is 12V, 0.30A. To power 1 of them, I'm assuming that I would get an adapter that was the same Amperage of 0.30, and a variable voltage up to 12V. (I'd like to be able vary the fan speed with the voltage.)
Is this assumption correct? If the adapter exceeded 0.30A, could it damage the fan?
I also assumed that if I wanted to wire up both fans in a parallel circuit, I would use an adapter with 0.60A, and 12V. Is this assumption correct?
Many thank, would be grateful for any answers to this basic question!
