Hi everyone,
I am a vegetable farmer building a root washer (for potatoes, carrots, etc.) and I'd like it if I could finely control the speed of the motor that controls the rotation of the washer.
Is this cheap, over the counter Variable Speed Drive compatible with my motor? (Seems like it should based on the basic specs, but I know very little about electronics and don't want to fry the motor.)
The motor: Hallmark Industries, General purpose, Single Phase, AC Motor, 1/2HP, 1725RPM, 1PH/60HZ, 115V/208-230V, FL AMP = 8.8/4.4
The speed controller: "Speed Bully Motor Speed controller 120V. Easily control the speed of fans, pumps, routers and most other AC/DC Brush-Type motors, 15 AMPS or less. The Speed Bully features a quick and easy to use adjustable dial that gives you full control from 0 to full RPM."
Thanks!
David
