Hello. I've installed a few attic ventilators and have also replaced several attic ventilator motors that have burnt out in the past. I've never given it much thought as they are thermally protected however I read an article last year about an AC contractor I use to do work for. Turns out, he (his company) installed a new attic ventilator for a customer, 10 years later it caught fire and he was being sued by the old costumer for setting his house on fire.
Does anyone here put another fuse on it or just hook them up and walk away?
If I were to put it on a fuse how much larger than the motor fla would you think it needs to be, 125% to 150%?
Thank you.
