    Information on wiring a 5vdc fan and a 6vdc pump in a circuit

    If wishing to use the same 6v supply, just use a couple of diodes in series from the 6v supply for the fan. Are you looking for ac mains powered? if so a 6v wall-wart/adaptor should work. M.

    help wiring 3 phase washing machine motor

    Apparently it is a 3phase induction motor, with a custom VFD, so you would need to use this controller, and find a way to control the speed signal or use one of the cheap Huanyang on ebay. M.

    help wiring 3 phase washing machine motor

    I googled and it seems like a standard 1ph motor, if you go too low it may have a problem starting. There is a little leeway in sizing, what difference are you thinking of? Make sure it is AC motor run rated. M.
