Ac motors are constant speed devices, but if you change the input voltage or frequency or the windings that make the motor spin, their speed may change. The most common and effective way to change the speed is to use an inverter as a power source to change the frequency. With the development of power electronics technology and the reduction of costs, this method has become more and more popular. Methods that include reducing the voltage of the motor windings through resistors, transformers, or motor winding taps are still in use, and this method is low-cost and is the preferred method for certain well-defined applications.
