    That speed controller is for a DC motor, not an AC motor.

    The only way to reliably control the speed of an AC motor is via varying the frequency (aka VFD).
    That speed controller will likely just be a basic SCR circuit, which is designed to run DC motors from an AC source.

    It's a 400W 220V controller for a AC220V 50/60HZ motor.
