AC Motor: Can it be Hooked Up to an Inverter?

[Mandrill22]

Can this motor be connected to an inverter to control the speed with a dial?

If your inverter has variable frequency.

I see nothing.
It also has to be 3phase.

This is a very small motor (14W), but a VFD and simply changing the frequency via a DC to AC invertor isn't the same thing.

Also a lot depends on your load / torque requirements.

E.g. see

If you want to control the speed of an AC motor, get a proper VFD which is correctly tuned to your motor.

It looks to me that the three connections on the side are for either 120 or 240V connection live plus a nuetral.

But at $15/ motor, just buy a few, blow a few up and learn.
