Washing controls have used power inverters to control motor speeds for years. Variable-speed control enables a significant simplification of the mechanical system by replacing a clutch and gearbox with a belt drive. Washers in North American commonly use a three-phase induction motor with tachometer...

What are Power MOSFETs ? Power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) are three-terminal silicon devices that function by applying a signal to the gate that controls current conduction between source and drain. Their current conduction capabilities are up to several tens of am...
