Hi Bob,
We gotta support the ferrite industry! Seriously, you’re correct. Choose
the cure to match the problem.

On the other hand, efficiency is not an obsession. Saving money just makes
sense. I seldom walk down the road throwing quarters in the ditch. You
can’t just drop an AC motor into a system designed for a DC variable speed
drive. That would involve some significant rewiring  and void the warranty.
(For whatever that may be worth!)
