Best Answer

If the load is connected to the motor via belts, you can change the speed the load is turning by changing the pulley sizes. To get the load to slow down, increase the size of the pulley on the load; to get it to speed up, increase the size of the pulley on the motor.

To reduce the speed of the motor itself, you'll have to alter the line frequency, which you can't do without a variable frequency drive attached to the motor.

By changing the voltage through a potentiometer ( eg fan regulator )


Why variable voltage and variable frequency control is used instead of variable voltage?

variable voltage control has some limitations as you decrease the voltage corresponding phase current will increase lead to increase of flux which lead to saturation of motor core and heating of motor to make flux constant and vary speed of motor v/f ratio need to be maintained constant

No. If you attempt to reduce the voltage to a cap start motor by using a rheostat, you can destroy the motor.

How do variable speed motors work?

A variable sped drive is sometimes also known as a variable frequency drive. These drives are used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque.


How does an ac drive variable speed drive operate to control speed?

Answer #1 It varies the frequency fed to a synchronous AC motor. As the frequency changes, so does the motor speed. Answer #2 The formula for calculating speed is: (120 X motor supply frequency) / number of poles 120 is a fixed number, so is the number of poles for a given motor, hence the only variable is the motor supply frequency. AC drives vary the motor supply frequency in turn achieving speed control.


Speed control of three phase induction motor by supply voltage control using AC voltage regulators?

No. Use standard utility AC, 3 PH voltage to feed a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD is then wired to the motor. The output of the VFD varies average voltage and frequency in a semi-constant proportion to keep Volts/Hertz ratio the same to the motor. The operator can then adjust or select the desired speed from the VFD and the VFD will run the motor continuosly at that desired speed. If you were to control only voltage to the motor without adjusting frequency in proportion, the motor would burn up.
