Hello, i have a friend who has asked me to help make him a speed controler for a specific motor. Its An AC motor and i would like to make sure that it is dont properly and safely.
This is th message he sent me with the info of the motor on it:
There's the usual mains-feed of 'earth, live, & neutral' to the Operating Switch. There are 4 wires coming from the Motor: 'earth, live, neutral & black(shows continuity between itself & 'blue' neutral). Between OSwitch & motor is an 'electro-magnetic-coil switch', this allows a bridge to connect the 'live from OSwitch' to 'live of Motor'. This Indicates 'change of rotation best sorted in Motor?
SEALEY MODEL NO. SM14/B
4" x 36" BELT & 6" DISC SANDER.
Disc Speed: 2670rpm (510m/min)
Motor: 1/3HP, 1ph (single phase)
220/240V 50Hz, 2P
He has also told me that he would only like to control it so it has speeds between 0-120 RPM instead of the fulll 2670RPM that the motor can handle. Is that possible with this motor or does this one need to be operated at full power (it was a belt sander motor)
