Re: 2.25 HP motor... what to do?

90 volt variable speed DC drives are common. Sort of the standard voltage for industrial DC drive. Comes from the supply voltage being 110 AC. (At least in the states) The 18 amps is at rated power which will be at some speed between free speed & stall.

Lots of people use motors out of tread mills for mini lathes & tools like that.
