The only reason for this might be if there is need to deliver 5 Hp
over a very wide range of speeds without a varispeed belt drive
or changeable belts or gears. This can be the case for lathe
spindles and things like that. Otherwise, an induction motor will
be cheaper, longer-lasting, essentially zero maintenance and so
on.
