Low Frequency, High Voltage Oscillator

driverhigh voltageoscillator

I am trying to create a speed control for a brushless AC motor, like those used in fountain water pumps. Since the speed of the motor is determined by the line frequency I want to make a low frequency (20 to 60 Hz) high voltage (120 V) oscillator. Any ideas? The pump is 7.5 W at 120 V.

What you're looking for is called a variable frequency drive. You would be much better off to just purchase something off the shelf, than to put in the time and materials trying to make one. They aren't that expensive. Here are some examples. Read through the specs until you find the one that meets the pump's specs.
