Abstract

In home appliances, electrical energy is optimally controlled by using power electronics technology, creating a comfortable environment in terms of energy saving, low sound generation, and reduced time consumption. At present, this technology has been expanding the range of its applications and leading environment friendly revolution in home appliances. This paper describes an ultra low-noise washing machine with direct drive motor, an energy saving inverter refrigerator with twin-evaporator, a high efficiency microwave oven, a high output power induction heating rice cooker, and a twin-burner induction heating range
