That's odd. Every light dimmer I have ever looked at carries a warning that
it is not to be used with inductive loads. On the other hand, I have
ignored that warning, and have not had problems. I once used a light dimmer
to control the speed of a vacuum cleaner motor I was using as a forge
blower, and it worked perfectly.
I guess the answer is to size the dimmer large enough to stand the
punishment. What do you think
You can hook a MOV across the load to kill off spikes.
