Abstract
The invention relates to a three-phase asynchronous electric motor for domestic appliances, comprising power elements, such as traics or relays, for charge control. The power elements other than the relays are controlled by at least one microcontroller with the aid of an optical insulation means, ensuring electronic programming and also control of the motor with the aid of a command. The microcontroller or microcontrollers are references to a zero potential of a recovery and filter block feeding the motor. The controller can be applied to a washing machine in order to control the electric motor which rotationally drives the drum.
Claims6
A controller for three-phase asynchronous electric motor or for chopper for universal motor, for domestic electrical appliances, comprising power units such as triacs or relays, for controlling loads, wherein the power units other than the relays fare controlled via an insulation means, by at least one microcontroller acting as electronic programmer and, via a control, the motor control function, said microcontroller being referenced to the “zero” potential of a rectification and filtering block supplying power to the motor.
