Why this extraction fan earns its place
The Combisteel SPEED GOVERNOR 1 PHASE 7 AMP is built for extraction fan control where three-phase power either isn't available or isn't practical. Rated at 7 amps on single-phase (standard UK domestic-style mains power), it handles fan motors that would otherwise run at fixed speed with no adjustment. If your kitchen has only single-phase power—common in older buildings, small premises, or standalone catering units—this is the governor that lets you dial extraction up and down without replacing the entire motor.
At 235 mm wide, 182 mm deep, 148 mm tall and just 5 kg, it's compact and lightweight enough to mount on a wall shelf, bracket, or inside a small electrical cabinet. The straightforward single-phase wiring—no three-phase complications—means installation is simpler and safer in premises without industrial-grade three-phase supply. A standard qualified electrician can handle the fitment without specialist three-phase infrastructure.
Speed control on a 7-amp single-phase governor is the same win as larger units: extraction at 60% speed uses less electricity, creates less noise, and extends motor life. In a small café, kiosk, or modest kitchen operation, these savings compound. You're not running the fan at full capacity all day when you only need full extraction during busy service.
