Motor spec

[evdamadiynot]

I'm replacing a variable speed controller unit that is attached to this motor.
The specs of the new one warn against use on "brushless(magnetic induction) or shaded pole motors"
How can I tell what type this one is (230v variant)?

It looks like a standard squirrel cage motor to me, which are brush less.

Thanks
that sorts out that then!I
So I need a vfd controller then?

Yes, a standard squirrel cage induction motor.
You need one that has carbon brushes fitted.

I want to change the controller I have -the motor has to stay put

Correct

Thanks chaps.

I've popped off the cover and there's this

So am I correct in saying it's a 3phase motor in delta?
(The existing controller is fed from a 13a domestic plug)

If so then as a bare minimum would this work?
Cheap ebay unit

Im painfully aware it's rock bottom quality but the application requires only a simple start, speed adjust and stop control in a domestic low dust and humidity environment.
Aside longevity what am I missing?
