AC Motor Speed Controller Module, 230Vac 50Hz, 1500W

1500 Watt 230V AC motor speed controller that provides adjustable speed control of single-phase "universal" AC motors as used in power drills, vacuum cleaners, etc.

Modern triac based design with varistor output protection and interference suppression. Board mounted potentiometer adjusts speed from 33 to 98% of maximum. Minimum speed is set using onboard trimmer.

The board is also suitable for use with resistive loads such as heaters or resistors.

N.B. A minimum load of 50W is required for proper operation.

All modules are supplied fully assembled and tested with instructions so you only need to make the necessary connections.

Also available in 375W and 750W models.

New improved DIN rail mountable design with triac varistor protection

PRODUCT SELECTION NOTE: Suitable for controlling most 230Vac 50Hz single-phase "universal" motors, filament lamps, etc... NOT suitable for use with synchronous AC motors, capacitor-start/run AC motors or inductive loads like halogen or PL lamps, neon, etc.. Ask the manufacturer to confirm if their motor is suitable for control using a Phase Angle Regulation (PAR) style controller BEFORE you buy this product! The motor controller should have an output load capacity at least 25% above the motors peak power requirement. Please do NOT rely on motor rating plates for power consumption figures as they often quote average not peak power. You should verify the actual peak power at start-up and under full load before selecting an appropriate size motor controller.
