Hello! Often washing machines fail and are thrown into landfills. But some parts and details of cars can still serve and bring many benefits. A classic example is emery and motor washers.
Today I will tell and show you how to properly connect an electric motor from a modern washing machine to an AC voltage of 220 V.
I immediately want to say that such engines do not need a starting capacitor. Just the right connection is enough and the engine will spin in the direction you need.

Motors for washing machines. In my case, the connection block has six wires, there can only be four in yours.
This is how she looks. First, two white wires we do not need. This is the output from the engine speed sensor. We mentally exclude them or even bite off with wire cutters.

Next are the wires: red and brown are wires from the stator windings.

The last two wires: gray and green - wires from the rotor brushes.

Everything seems to be clear. Now about the inclusion of all windings in a single circuit.

Scheme


Motor winding circuit. The stator windings are connected to each other in series, so two wires come out of them.

Connection to a network of 220 V


We just need to turn on the stator and rotor windings in series. Yes, everything turns out to be very, very simple.

We connect, we check.

The motor shaft spins to the left.

How to change the direction of rotation?


You just need to swap the wires of the rotor brushes between each other and that's it. This is how it will look on the diagram:

Spin the other way.

You can also make a reverse switch and change the direction of rotation of the shaft when necessary.

    I'm certainly not special .... But the collector and the AC voltage ?? Or 220v - does it mean constant?

      A drill, and a grinder? Also 220 volts AC.

      The collector is a mechanical rectifier. The rotor is made of laden iron (Foucault currents), at constant current the rotation frequency will increase.

      It is the collector, this universal engine that works on both alternating and direct current.

    Even so, there does not seem to be slight erosion going through the brushes and collector. Well, torsion right to left ..... It happens only clockwise and counterclockwise.

    where is the capacitor?

    Everything would be fine, but since it is open-ended, it will pull metal sawdust over the gap between the armature and the stator over time and close the magnetic flux. This will cause the motor to stop, as I have already passed.

    But there’s nothing that there are 11 thousand revolutions there. The kamushka is not designed for such revolutions, it will fly to smithereens.

    Yes, the article is useful, only one snag is such an engine except that for the manufacture of a fan a decent speed of this engine allows this to be done because without a special circuit that supports the engine's power, this engine can be easily stopped even at not significant load

    everything is correct, such an engine turns the 0.25 m3 mixer

    Collector - motors with a phase rotor. You can control the speed of rotation. And, yes, the voltage is variable.

    Hello. and I have wires of this color, please help me: white, black, red, blue, green, yellow.

      Do you turn on your brains weakly? You take a workshop and you find two windings, that is, a rotor and a stator, you connect the end of one with the end of the other, two free ones in 220. Turning the wrong way we change the ends. Everything is simple. The wires from the sensor are visible from where they come visually.

    I have not six but seven wires. How to start?

    Regarding the open engine performance and high revs, the commentators are certainly right! those who want to apply the engine will need to take these points into account. I’m wondering, is it possible to connect the stator and rotor windings in parallel? Actually, it is about whether it is possible to apply voltage to the windings of, say, the rotor, directly, but to the stator windings (well, or, maybe, vice versa?) Through any regulator?

    You can’t turn it on like that. Delivery will go more than 15 thousand revolutions.
