Washing machine with vector control for drive motor

摘要

A washing machine includes an electric motor (24) developing torque used for wash rinse and dehydration operations, a current detector (41) detecting current flowing into the motor (24), and a torque controller (45) performing a vector control for the motor (24) on the basis of the current detected by the current detector (41) so that the torque developed by the motor (24) is optimum for at least each of the wash and dehydration operations.
