Electric ac induction motor 50hz to 60hz?

[Fazz711]

I have never come across a decent single phase to single phase speed controller

if I was doing it, I would be Looking for a 3 phase motor and a single phase to 3 phase inverter

I could then buy a decent quality system and not have to worry about the effects of capacitors and how they interact with a vfd drive.

That would be the way I would do it.
Three phase pumps are better quality and more efficient.
But you have to factor in the cost of new pump if you allredy have a good one.
Proper single phase to single phase are good enough to run a pump.
I understand not using cheap speed control they very rarely work well unless you spend decent amount on them

Forgive me if i butcher this but if the input voltage is 220 volts 50Hz and the output is 3 phase, im assuming the output voltage is 220 volts across phases and 60Hz. Could i not then feed the motor from 2 of the phases

No don't think so as the unit will see an imbalance and shut down
