Speed control of single phase motor
Speed control of single phase motor
(OP)
I have a 115volt 1750 rpm 8.2 amp single phase motor. What options are available to control the motors speed, excluding sprocket sizing? Where it is a single phase motor is a drive possible?

1. It overheat
2. There was a loss of torque in this application.
My solution was to couple and additional 5:1 ratio gearbox on to the existing 30:1 that gave me the desire maintained speed and torque without the ability to vary the speed.
Not everything I needed but nevertheless a viable solution.
