ABSTRACT Major Project Title Washing Machine Motor Controller

Washing machines usually employ a single-phase motor. In semiautomatic washing machines, a purely mechanical switch controls the timing and direction of the motor. These switches are costly and wear out easily. Heres a controller for single-phase motors of washing machines that efficiently replaces its mechanical equivalent. Basically, a single-phase motor requires a master timer, which decides the time for which the motor should keep rotating (washing time), and a spin direction controller, which stops the motor for 3 seconds after every 10 seconds and then resumes rotation in opposite direction. The direction of rotation can be controlled. When switch S1 is in position A, coil L1 of the motor receives the current directly, whereas coil L2 receives the current with a phase shift due to capacitor C. So the rotor rotates in clockwise direction. When switch S1 is in position B, the reverse happens and the rotor rotates in anti-clockwise direction. Thus switch S1 can change the rotation direction. The motor cannot be reversed instantly. It needs a brief pause between switching directions, or else it may get damaged. For this purpose, another spin direction control timer (IC2)is employed. It is realized with an IC 555. This timer gives an alternate on and off time duration of 10 seconds and 3 seconds, respectively. So after every l0 seconds of running (either in clockwise or anticlockwise direction), the motor stops for a brief duration of 3 seconds. The values of R3 and R4 are calculated accordingly.
