Smart Drive motor as a motor 'and' as a generator?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi

I am working on a project where I want to use a Smart Drive Motor (Found in Fisher and Paykel washing machines, and also in LG and Samsung machines) as a motor, and then as a generator.  The problem I am having is getting the motor to work.  It needs a motor controller, but I haven't found anything in a post or anywhere that provides a list of parts and schematic. I am hoping to have the capabiltiy within the system to switch between a motr and a generator.

Given my level of capability I would really like a start to end project description.

 

Does anyone know of such a description or is anyone able to help me out with building this project?

 

Thanks

 

Simon
