Okay. I connected the regulator in series. It worked but the speed control was not satisfactory. The second highest option reduced the speed so much as if it was the lowest speed. Q1: This is probably because it was designed for different weight and load in mind? Q2: If I connect another...

I should have provided more details in the beginning. Regulator is rated for 100 watt at 240V 50Hz and is designed for ceiling fan. However, the concerned motor is a single phase 93 watt at 240V, 1/8 HP multi speed motor used in either pedestal fans or room coolers. It has a capacitor for...

Thank you for quick response. Changing the motor is not an option for me. 100 watt was printed on the regulator. I thought replacing the capacitors and resistors with higher wattage caps and resistors should increase the max load capability of the regulator. Is that incorrect?

A capacitor based fan regulator is rated for maximum 100 watts. What components need to be replaced to make it suitable for 500 watts or 1000 watts...
