Lookin For A 3 Speed Switch With Timer

It's for my whole house fan. Needs to be able to handle a 1/3 hp 6/10 amp rated motor. I've exhausted my search but you guys are good!

3 speeds(low, med, high) with a timer switch.

Why not two switches? Timer feeds speed control.

480 beat me to the punch. He said exactly what I would have recommended.

OK, where can I get a 3 speed selector at? Preferable a knob with, Off, High, Med, Low. I can't even find one of those that will work.

480, that P&S control won't work on a whole house fan. Those are designed for paddle fans.

About the only thing that I could readily find on the web is here. You'll have to inquire about suitability for your project.

A motor is a motor is a motor. As long as it's within the HP rating, it should work.
