Hi guys for a personal project I would need to wire a bunch of 12v pc fans and have them hooked up to a 3pin socket. Psu is not an option for me in this case thus the need for 3pin socket.
I tried wiring the red and black to my live and ground wires respectively but when I plugged in the socket(switch was off) somehow still managed to trip my house and the fans literally had sparks and burnt up. I must have done something wrong there. Any pros can give advice pls?
Many thanks in advance!
-edit-
After sourcing for quite a while I finally found the right keywords to search. I will use a hard disk ac/dc power supply that has a molex head and I will connect that to a molex-sata adapter. And have the sata end connected to my fanhub. Believe once I receive all my items they should work as intended.
Thanks all!
