Dishwashers

An inverter motor gives a powerful water jet, low vibration and low noise. IGBTs are used for motor drive and microcontrollers for overall control. Triacs and photocouplers are used to drive a heater for hot-air sterilization. Photocouplers are also employed to drive water supply and drain valves.
