Washing Machine Motor Wiring Basics

by NoskillsrequiredN

You have an old washing machine dont throw it away yet dismantle it and search for 2 main components that are
very useful the washing machine motor and the pump on this tutorial we will concentrate about the washing
machine motor also know as universal motor because by definition an universal motor can run on dc and ac.

The motor that you will see in the video from the end of this tutorial is a universal motor 420w 2A 50/60Hz .

Step 1: The Washing Machine Motor

The universal motor is so named because it is a type
of electric motor that can operate on AC or DC power.
It is a commutated series-wound motor where the
stator's field coils are connected in series with the
rotor windings through a commutator. It is often
referred to as an AC series motor. The universal
motor is very similar to a DC series motor in
construction, but is modified slightly to allow the
motor to operate properly on AC power. This type of
electric motor can operate well on AC because the
current in both the field coils and the armature (and
the resultant magnetic fields) will alternate (reverse
polarity) synchronously with the supply.

Step 2: How to Wire Universal Motor

Washing machine motor wiring basics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlaHSZFGzp0 a tutorial on how to wire

universal motor or washing machine motor to ac/dc known as direct wire or hot wire washinf machine motor is very
easy just follw the wires and starting from bottom 1+3 stay connected and the rest 2 and 4 we gonna connect them
to battery or ac source the connection is the same
because is a universal motor it can run on ac/dc.

Universal motors have high starting torque, can run at Go and check my channel you will find something
high speed, and useful for sure till then take care and be very carefull
are lightweight and compact. They are commonly with 220v
used in portable power tools and equipment, as well
as many household appliances. They're also is very dangerous see you soon BYE BYE
relatively easy to control, electromechanically using
tapped coils, or electronically. However, the NoSkillsRequired
commutator has brushes that wear, so they are much
less often used for equipment that is in continuous
use.
