  • Publication number: 20060091754
    Abstract: A motor has a field magnet assembly comprising a plurality of magnets arranged in the circumferential direction of the field magnet assembly such that like polarities face each other, and a plurality of magnet spacers disposed between the magnets, respectively. Consequently, leakage of magnetic flux of the field magnet assembly is minimized, and torque is improved as compared to a conventional motor having the same stacking and capacity. In a washing machine with the motor, the magnets and the magnet spacers are integrally attached to the outer tub of the washing machine. Consequently, the size of the washing machine is minimized. The sizes of the inner and outer tubs are increased when the washing machine according to the present invention has the same size as the conventional washing machine. Consequently, the capacity of the washing machine is increased.

  • Publication number: 20060055364
    Abstract: A single-phase induction motor comprises a power consumption prevention device, which includes a current signal transfer element and a switching element. The switching element is turned on/off according to the current signal received from the current signal transfer element. The power consumption prevention device prevents current flow to a start device when the motor runs in normal mode, and thus avoids unnecessary power consumption by the start device when the motor runs in normal mode, thereby preventing a reduction in the efficiency of the single-phase induction motor due to the unnecessary power consumption.
