Thanks again. I've ordered a low-voltage current-sensing relay (the kind typ used for humidifiers) and will wire the power to the transformer on the primary feed. This will keep the solution on the...

Thanks for talking through this, still not sure exactly what I will do, but I have a few ideas and maybe the current sensing relay is something I'll look into. Don't worry I won't do anything based...
sorry if it is diy, not sure what kinda questions you guys get from Joe Homeowner if this is diy... thanks for your help in thinking it through.
It's a fancy built-in unit with the rheostat molded...
I just assumed a high voltage relay would still work with lower-than-rated voltage. It will burn up too?
For now I just won't run the thing at less than full power until I find somebody who knows...
BAC - It is a spring close, so it is only open while actuator is energized.
From my limited understanding of motors, lower voltage means it will draw more amps, depending on the mechanical load...
This is a project in my own home, but perhaps I need some clarification on what constitutes DIY. I did read the forum rules, and I'm not looking for how-to advice on wiring a t-stat, or step-by-step...
I've adapted a zoning damper for use in a cooktop downdraft system and just need some confirmation on principles of electrical components and any other feedback on this setup.
