yes, you can. in A/C motor rps(rev/sec) is N(rps)= f/p where f is the frequency and p is the number of pair poles. By increasing or decreasing the frequency the rps will change accordingly. By having less or more pair poles the rps will be increased or reduced. the more pair poles the lower will be the rps.

JudyNo, not really on a single phase motor. The RPM of a motor is governed by the amount of coils that the motor has and the speed of the motor is decided when the motor is manufactured. If the motor was three phase then it could happen by using a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive). This is a relatively costly item that controls the frequency of the motor. Less frequency relates to less RPM.

How do you reduce rpm of an electric motor from 1200 rpm to 240 rpm?
You would use a worm drive meshed with a gear that has 130 teeth.
How do you calculate the top speed of an electric motor?
Yea, but what if you are building the motor yourself and need to know the maximum rpm it will reach.
Will changing an electric motors input from 115 volt to 230 volt cause motor to run at 3450?
Yes, IF the motor is a dual-voltage motor to begin with. There should be re-connection instructions on the motor nameplate, or available from the manufacturer. The motor will list both voltages on the nameplate. If it only lists one, then the motor cannot be re-wired to a different voltage.
Can a 2800 rpm motor replace a 1400 rpm motor for air compressor?
No
What causes an electric motor to stick when trying to start?
The cam shaft opens the valves for the inlet of gas/air into the piston chamber & exhaust of used fuel has a smooth rpm operating range. The proper timing of the motor to run idle is usually 600-800 rpm. While the motor is trying to start and gain rpm, the pressure from the compression of fuel lags on all other piston until the smooth idle operating rpm is reached. Making the motor lag on start up.
