Question:

Can you use a dc motor controller?

Lets say you have an electric car with an ac motor....Can you use a dc motor controller for it ???

Answer:

NO! Don't do because a DC motor controller puts DC current into the circuit who acts as control, or, puts a variable voltage across it to define the speed of the controlled motor. You need to (in most of the situations) control the phase angle to make a variable speed and the power supplied to the motor. Good luck.
