RE: about electronic motor control
VFD are almost a standard (at least in the USA) where speed control of a squirrel cage motor is required.
The costs have come down greatly, and in most cases it is not even a factor. They are very comparable to say a star-delta starter of a similar rating.
Solid state reduced voltage starter also comparable (10 to 15% more) than a standard starter.
All of these are easy to find and carried by all leading electrical equipment manufacturers.
