    1170 rpm motor

    We need an EE.

    I think, (regarding the more poles) that buying a 1200 rpm motor and goosing it up with a VFD is better than underdriving

    1170 rpm motor

    Or buy a 7.5 horsepower 1750 one and run it with a VFD at the desired rpm with reduced horsepower. get variable speed, power brakes, slow start, etc.
