dimmer on 3 speed fan

[mamills]

I have seen "continuously variable" speed controls for inductive loads such as ceiling fans. When the control is switched on, the fan starts at the highest (fastest) setting, then slows to a minimum speed setting as the control is adjusted. The controller also has a "trim pot" for setting the minimum speed, to prevent stalling.
