Is undervolting induction motors OK?


Can an induction motor be run safely with a 2:1 step down transformer? They don't work well with triacs because of increased rotor slippage, for example, but if I understand correctly that's because of the chopped up non-sinusoidal power waveform.


What are the implications of undervolting? Would it affect slip or efficiency?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
