9.16 Power supply to motor

The PCB powers the motor via a triac. The direction of rotation is reversed by switching of the contacts on
the two relays (K2-K3), which modify the connection between the rotor and the stator.
In certain models (1200-1600rpm), a third relay (K4) is used to power the stator (full or half field) according
to the spin speed
The speed of rotation of the motor is determined by the signal received from the tachometric generator.
During the spin phases, the microprocessor, depending on the software configuration, may perform the anti-
foam control procedure (if featured) and the anti-unbalancing control procedure.

9.17 Anti-foam control system

The anti-foam control procedure (if featured) is performed via the anti-boiling pressure switch (AB).

•
Spin with little foam: if the contact of pressure switch AB closes on FULL, the spin phase is
interrupted; the drain pump continues to operate and, when the contact returns to EMPTY, the spin
phase is resumed.
•
Spin with excessive foam in the tub (critical situation): The control system detects whether the
pressure switch commutates 5 times to FULL. In this case, the spin phase is skipped, and a one-minute
drain cycle is performed with the motor switched off; in the case of a washing phase, a supplementary
rinse is added.
