For AC motor, you can change motor RPM by changing its supply voltage or by changing supply frequency. For DC motor, you can change motor speed by controlling armatyre voltage or field current.

By varying the voltage applied to the motor. A rheostat could be used to vary the voltage if you wanted to do this in an analog fashion. If you wanted to do it digitally you could use pulse width modulation (PWM) where you essentially turn on and off the power at precise times so that you average the desired power over a time period.

Can rpm be adjusted on a split phase motor?

No, the nameplate RPM rating is governed by the amount of poles that a stand alone motor has. There are devices in the market place that can be used to control the motors speed but these are after market devices.

What is the maximum RPM does a 3 phase motor run at?

The formula for RPM is ; RPM = Hz x (120 (constant)) divided by the # of poles. Number of poles a motor has; # of poles = Hz x (120 (constant)) / RPM.


Can 2800 rpm motor replace 1400 rpm motor for centrifugal water pump?

No. The water pump is designed for a specific RPM. It will not operate correctly, and will probably be damaged, if you attempt to operate it at twice the design RPM.


How do you build an electric motor with over 2000 RPM?

an electric motor can be build with over 2000 rpm,by increasing the supply frequency.


How much rpm for 12 volt ac motor?

The formula for RPM is, RPM = Hz x 60 x 2/# of poles the motor has. To answer this question more information needs to be stated.

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


Application of feedback control system in electrical?

One application of feed back control is where the speed of a motor has to be maintained at a certain RPM and the load it drives is variable. Feedback from the load tells the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) motor controller what to do. As the load drags the motor speed down the feedback unit sends a electrical impulse to the VFD to increases the speed of the motor. As the load drops off the feedback unit sends a electrical impulse to the VFD to decreases the speed of the motor. These interactions keep the motor RPM at a constant speed. This is a very simplified version of what happens.
