the motor should only rotate in a rated speed,if the speed is more than rated speed then the motor will be damaged........to control the speed of motor a rheostat should be connected to the field side of motor......by variying the rheostat we can control the speed of motor......
AC voltage controllers are used for controlling the speed of universal motor or induction motor by changing the firing angle :) -vinodh gav
On an AC motor you basically vary the frequency on a DC you can vary the voltage.

An AC drive is a type of adjustable-speed drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage. AC drives are used in applications ranging from small appliances to the largest of mine mill drives and compressors.
ac motor
A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFD's vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSD's referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.
It is done to control the speed of the motor.
the speed of ac motor can be controlled by controlling the synchronous speed (Ns=120f/p). and synchronous speed can be varried or controlled by changing frequency or by changing poles. but practicaly pole can not be changed. but we can change the frequency. the frequency can be VFD (Variable frequency Drives). so the speed of ac motor can be chaged or controlled by VFD.
The higher the frequency the higher the RPM the motor will turn
A dc series motor with speed control can be connected on ac supply because dc machines are totally reversible.
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.
A variable speed module in a motor can work with ac or dc source
The Synchronous motors will operate at a constant speed from noload to fullload. Even it is classified as an AC motor, we have to fed the motor both AC and DC supplies. That we have to supply DC to the Field (Normally Rotor) and AC to the Armature (Normally Stator).
An AC Drive used for a speed control of a motor by using vary frequency.
An SCR chip is commonly used to control the speed of a motor. The speed is controlled using an AC circuit and phase angles.
The speed control of the DC motor is important because its speed can be changed over a wide variety of simple methods which is not possible in an AC motor.
