I have a Solid state AC Motor speed control (2.5amp 120v.a.c) and I want to install it to control my pump. I've read a lot that a rheostat will burn out a motor super quick, and an a little concerned about this. I have also read that If I want to control the flow rate of the motor I can use a Solid state controller like the one I have, or I can install a flow meter down stream of the pump. I have both right now so I can do either or, but I'd like to have an electrical control for the motor.
For the electrical question...it has two wires? does the controller interrupt the load in? So I would wire it in between the live conductor of the plug and the motor?
any help would be greatly appreciated
