For some reason I had the brilliant idea today to convert my honey extractor from manual to electric. I happen to have an unused AC motor from a bathroom fan that states "590RPM" on the side. I need at most ~350RPM, so I'd like to add a controller to this AC motor. I only have limited knowledge of these things, so I need some help identifying the right type of controller to avert burning my house down. My hope is that there be someone here who could help out!
The sticker on the side lists the following specs:
- Broad-Ocean Motor (HAI Phong) Company Limited
- Model Y4L403B028A
- 120V~60Hz 2.0uF/250V 3W
- 0. 16A 590RPM. CLASS B
Based on my research it looks like I might need a VFD; but whenever I look for VFDs I only find these large boxes that look pretty serious... How would I go about adding an RPM controller to this motor?
