No, the motors are mains frequency synchronous and hence will always try to run at the normally correct speed but produce less torque.
Thank you for the response! I wasn't too hopefull it would work that way. Either way, from the small research I've done, in case there is no run capacitor, I think using a Variable Frequency Drive should do make this work, or am I wrong?
That would work
