Features of inverter motor
The convenience of using household appliances only increases over time. The inverter motor in the washing machine is considered one of the useful technologies that make life easier. They are installed in washing machines and dishwashers, and other types of household appliances.
Such devices are distinguished by energy efficiency, increased productivity, which is why the demand for them only increases over time.
What is inverter motor
The operation of the washing machine depends on the motor, which can change the speed and direction of rotation. The inverter motor is considered a new development. Initially, such engines were installed in microwave ovens, in climatic equipment.
For the first time, an inverter motor was used by Japanese and Korean engineers when designing washing machines. The user can adjust the speed and frequency of work. The technology has made it possible to optimize the technical characteristics of the washer, to increase the durability of the equipment.
Dishwasher safe
The motor in the dishwasher protects the appliance from voltage surges that are thought to cause damage to conventional motors. The inverter allows you to prevent the negative consequences of overloads in the network, due to which the equipment burns out.
The inverter motor increases efficiency by increasing washing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The use of an inverter in a dishwasher allows you to design dishwashers with a large number of programs, the inclusion of which allows you to take into account the peculiarities of the process of washing different types of dishes.
In the washing machine
Many people do not know that this inverter motor in the washing machine allows you to select the necessary programs when washing. The inverter mechanism of action is based on the transformation of the voltage that is supplied to the stator. Due to it, spinning at a speed of 1200 rpm is possible, which avoids additional drying of the laundry after washing.
Reference. Some models of electronically controlled washing machines are equipped with a laundry weighing function, they can also determine the cycle time, automatic shutdown. All this helps to prevent numerous problems, prevents wear of fabrics.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of washers with an inverter motor is to improve the energy efficiency of the motor. This indicator exceeds the characteristics of old models by 15-20%.
Other benefits:
- saving water - its consumption is reduced by about 10% - this is especially true for large volumes of washing;
- Beat Wash system, the washing efficiency is significantly increased due to the 3D sensor, things are evenly placed in the drum, as a result, washing is accelerated and becomes more delicate;
- practicality - the system perfectly adapts to fabrics of any density;
- silent operation - the noise level, depending on the program, is 52-75 dB;
- high-speed spin - the washed laundry becomes almost dry;
- lack of a large number of additional parts;
- accuracy - there is a possibility of the most accurate adjustment of the number of revolutions.
The main disadvantages of washing machines with an inverter motor are considered to be the high price, difficult repairs. Equipment with such motors has appeared on the market relatively recently, which creates additional problems.
Principle of operation
The main feature is the ability to equalize the current, as a result, it is transformed from AC to DC. The difference from an electric motor is the absence of carbon brushes, as well as the use of a frequency converter.
The rotor mechanism rotates due to the action of electromagnetic fields, which leads to an increase in the life of the component. The inverter, after receiving direct current, again gives alternating current, which makes it possible to regulate the rotor.
The control circuit of an inverter-type motor is complex, requires effort, investment, which leads to an increase in the cost of motors. Samsung installs such engines on various household appliances, equips the models with technological control units, which avoids a strong rise in price.
Washing machine and dishwasher models
The first company to produce washing machines with such an engine was LG. Today, such motors are installed by many well-known brands, including Samsung, Indesit, Electrolux and many others. Due to the large number of options, the most popular among buyers are washing machines, the principle of which is based on Direct Drive technology.
The following washing machines with an inverter motor are in demand from customers:
- Samsung WW70K62E00W - narrow front design is equipped with touch control, LED LED display. The model is equipped with a steam function, Eco Bubble function. The capacity reaches 7 kg. Quiet operation is considered an important advantage.
There is a possibility of control from a smartphone. - LG FH-0B8ND4 is a front-facing machine with a removable cover. The capacity is 6 kg, the number of programs is 13 pcs, there is no drying, a delay timer is provided - the program is activated at the set time.
The model is equipped with a digital display. - Electrolux EWS 1277 FDW - capacity reaches 6.5 kg. The main advantages are considered to be excellent assembly, noiselessness.
14 programs allow you to wash any fabric.
