Can i use this to control the speed of a 1hp 110v/60hz induction motor?

On the unlikely event that you are shipped one that actually works out of the box, (first one I got kind of half way worked the replacement was worse. I opted for a refund at that point. ) the device is not designed to work with that at type of motor however it may with some, but not all. Should work best with brush type motors (Ie routers)

Do you know the amp rating of your motor? Variable speed motors are designed to be variable speed and operate at different amps basically what this controller does. It the motor you have is not a variable for speed motor this will not work.

Hour meter: YesIdle Control: No, engine speed is regulated to maintain 60Hz electrical output, which is directly proportional to engine speed.

With the use of a 110 Vac xformer. I would think being a variable speed motor would account for the difference in frequency.

I don't think so. I believe your motor is an AC only motor which wouldn't be compatible with this speed controller designed for an AC/DC brush motor

possible small motors wired in series. it did not do what I wanted it to do for me I was going to use it for a 12v heater motor for a speed control in a Buick the motor is wired to run on high speed. it is controlled by a sealed heater ac solid state unit that is $900. it looks like a well built unit for the price you cant go wrong

The answer is, I don't know. This control performs differently with different tools, appliances, etc. It must depend on the type of inner electrical control of each tool, appliance, etc. I bought one to control the speed of a fan but it did not perform, it was either on or off even in the variable mode. I would go to the local electrical parts store and ask some questions before ordering.

I don't own the Proxxon variable power supply but my best educated guess is- since both speed controllers are essentially the same electronics i.e, cutting off the rectified AC wave cycle at a particular point in time, either the motor or the power supply dial must be turned all the way up and the other dial used as speed control. You should also be able to set lower ranges of speeds of the motor if the power supply dial is set to something less than its full voltage therefore creating a lower speed range available with the motor control dial. Hope this helps. Be safe and please wear those safety glasses at all times when using this tool !

According to the description on the router speed control it only works on motors with brushes i.e. router,drill,but not any induction motors.

You would need a 12v power converter and a 12v inverter and you'll have the modified sinewave (60hz)

My unit lists 120vac 60hz 10amps only, so I believe you would need to separately purchase a step-down converter to match that.

Should work. This motor control acts like a dimmer and will allowspeedadjustment.

It works on a 110 circuit at 60 hz. There is no provision for any other ranges.

Yes you can use a speed controller on this blower motor. Use one that is rated for atleast two amps or greater. Do not use a dimmer switch designed for incandescent lighting.

I have it running on 110. As I understand it, it is designed to replace the manual hi/lo fan and pump switch and I use it in that capacity. According to the link in Amazon to this item, it works on "2 speed 1/3 - 1 HP motors 115V/230V" Basically it gives you thermostatic control over what was previously just a fan/pump switch. It works well.

It is not possible to adjust the speed because you will damage the motor. Considering that the connection between the pump and the motor is magnetic, you can adjust the output using a ball valve, so the result is the same, reduction on the flux of the mash

the simple answer is no . it can be done with out a computer , but quite frankly , you would spend more money doing it than buying a good quality DC motor with a gear head reducer . using 5 relays in a frustrated loop , taking the logic from the first and third relay of the loop , and 2 power relays in a bipolar configuration ... you can use capitors in paralelle with the frustrated loop coils , to slow the loops cycle speed ... to speed it up , use 5 varable resistor across all 5 of the the capacitors . what i have discribed will cost a good deal more than a arduino controller , and give you only 5% speed change if you are extremely careful the simple answer is no . it can be done with out a computer , but quite frankly , you would spend more money doing it than buying a good quality DC motor with a gear head reducer . using 5 relays in a frustrated loop , taking the logic from the first and third relay of the loop , and 2 power relays in a bipolar configuration ... you can use capitors in paralelle with the frustrated loop coils , to slow the loops cycle speed ... to speed it up , use 5 varable resistor across all 5 of the the capacitors . what i have discribed will cost a good deal more than a arduino controller , and give... » Read More the simple answer is no . it can be done with out a computer , but quite frankly , you would spend more money doing it than buying a good quality DC motor with a gear head reducer . using 5 relays in a frustrated loop , taking the logic from the first and third relay of the loop , and 2 power relays in a bipolar configuration ... you can use capitors in paralelle with the frustrated loop coils , to slow the loops cycle speed ... to speed it up , use 5 varable resistor across all 5 of the the capacitors . what i have discribed will cost a good deal more than a arduino controller , and give you only 5% speed change if you are extremely careful « Show Less

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.
