How to drive motors recycled from old washing machines

[Claudio HG]

So you've recovered that nice and powerful motor from the old washing machine before dumping the old lady at the recycling center, and now?

These kind of motors are really convenient, and can be used to power many tools having them the ability to run at constant speed ...provided the right driver feed them.

In this video I present a hands-on approach about how to drive these motors through the Phase Angle Control and Closed loop speed control.
Hope you'll find it interesting. Greetings.
