hi there,
does anyone know how to slow down the rpm of an induction motor used in a clothes drier. Someone gives me a used clothes drier . I immediately tested it and found out that after an hour, the clothes still has moisture. I later found out that when the tumbler spins, the RPM is too much that the centrifugal force keeps all the clothes sticking on the outer casing, thus preventing the hot air to pass through the clothes. I found out that the drier is designed to operate on 50hz. We are using 60 hz in our place. Is there any means to slow it down a little bit. The motor is 1/2 hp with centrifugal switch 4pole.
thanks, norbert
