Has anyone has a wiring diagram or know how to connect a motor of a washing machine on the network?
I use on my lathe for metal working and, if possible add a rheostat for variable speed
Most washing machine motors are single phase induction motors. Unfortunately, this comes in a variety of types, as there are a number of "starter" circuit configurations for single phase motors. Normally, small motors, a configuration known as permanent split capacitor is used, with a set of wire coils with a capacitor in series. The value depends on the characteristics of the engine that would better if I could take the original condenser washer too. If you want to use a rheostat to vary the speed, it would need to be large in order to dispel energy, probably as much as to be impractical, but more importantly, you can not really control the speed of this type of engine, varying the voltage as this. It is generally difficult to control the speed of a regular induction motor usually is done with a variable frequency. A single phase motor will be very difficult control, you have to control the phase of the coils also boot. Probably the best option is to use the engine at a fixed rate and have a pulley system belt or gear driven to change the speed. A lot of cheap lathes / drills use mechanical speed variation of this type, such as electronics for motor control would be more expensive.
