Asynchronous motor

Asynchronous motor experimenting

 I found this kind of motor in a washing machine. The main advantage for this kind of motor is that you can regulate their speed with a simple variac. The power connector is a six pin connector, 2 pin for the tachometer, 2 for the bridge and 2 for the power supply, the variac in this case. Thank to the embedded tachometer you can actually measure the speed with a simple multi-meter.

And the connector

I've found the doc about this motor, you can get it here
