Nuova Ibmei: Electric question

[JohnKjos]

My washing machine broke last week, and I had to buy a new one.
So I figured that I could use the engine for something else, since it’s just fine 🙂

But when I unplugged it, I forgot to figure out wich of the 9 electrical cables that leads the main power..

The machine is now thrown away, so I havn’t got the chance to look at the cabeling in the washer

So I’d be pleased if some of you could help me!
(This might be the wrong fourm part to ask?)

The cables is placed in the connector like this:

The two right (red) ones goes to the back of the engine, so I think the left ones (blue) is the other main power leader..

Here’s a picture of the cabeling (sorry for the poor quality)

I hope someone can help me 🙂

Best regards JohnKjos

John, not wishing to” rain on your parade” as our transatlantic friends would say,…..but if you haven’t a clue, then you’re obviously out of your depth!

ELECTRICITY AT 230 V IS NOT A SUITABLE TOY AT YOUR KNOWLEDGE LEVEL!!!
DO NOT step up for a “Darwin Award”

If you have a proper use for a motor, just go and buy one ready-made for the job.

Re: Nuova Ibmei: Electric question

I’ve used 230V motors before in common projects. And I’m fully aware of the danger.
But the motor back than had only 2 cables…

And the thing that I don’t just go and try connecting the cables, but ask you guys instead, is a sign to that I’m careful, and not just doing stuff without thinking

Re: Nuova Ibmei: Electric question

Are you posting from Norway JohnKjos. The model of machine you mention is not known in the UK so we would have no idea about the wiring.
Looking at the picture it looks like a motor with a speed control tachometer.

The colour of the wiring is not specific and the only way to identify them would be to trace the individual wires through the motor.

As this motor is designed to be controlled electronically then unless you have saved the electronic control unit/timer and the wiring harness from your washing machine I would respectfully suggest you either donate this motor to a local repair shop if such a place exists or dispose of it.

Jim.

EDIT, just done some checking and Nuova Ibmei is the motor, not the machine. An electronically controlled induction motor. The above advice still stands.

I have a Nuva Ibmei HV 21 similiar to the above that i want to use for a project.

Its a 2-speed 240v AC reversible motor with five wires as follows (left to right and top to bottom);

1.black stripe, 2.blue, 3.yellow,
4.no wire, 5.red and 6.orange.

Resistance between terminals is as follows;
1/2 9
1/3 50
1/5 23
1/6 50
2/3 57.5
2/5 35
2/6 57.5
3/5 75
3/6 50
5/6 75

Testing the wires on a motor in a host machine indicates;

1. always has 240v
2. and 5. are for fast speed
3. and 6. are for slow speed and are connected to the startup capacitor

Given there is no wiring diagram on the casing or inside the washing machine it is possible to reverse engineer the wiring diagram for the motor?

Re: Nuova Ibmei: Electric question

I suppose my question is a little too broad so let me narrow it down a little;

Why would there be two wires powering each mode/speed of operation?

Re: Nuova Ibmei: Electric question

HI

If you read the other posts it states that the motor needs the electronic control to work correctly.
