Hi Comrades, please what is the simplest way to reduce the speed of a single phase induction motor to about 50%?

As folk have said, that's not a simple thing. There are various ways but all have issues, in some case the issue is just cost/complexity.


also can a universal motor run for 24 hours on 90% load? (with all name plate ratings observed)
thank you.

if it's rated to run continuously at 90% or greater load, yes. Otherwise no.
