Hi,
I am wondering if this is possible to do?
On my Myford i have a 1/2hp AC 110V motor, single phase.
I do not have access to 3 phase in the house.
Is there any way to add a variable speed control to the motor without first having 3 phase power and then go through a VFD?
I am thinking there must be some form of solid state variable speed control that can be used for this purpose.
Or would i have to change over to a DC motor for this to work?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Andrew
