A control for an automatic washing machine with a reversing permanent split capacitor (PSC) drive motor. Separate ferrite core sensors surround each of two PSC motor windings. A sense winding is threaded through both sensors. A brief output voltage is generated whenever the alternating current in either PSC motor winding passes through a zero-crossing and when the sense winding is wound with proper mutual polarity, an output voltage is generated in response to zero-crossings of a brief, residual alternating current which flows in both PSC motor windings and the capacitor when the rotating PSC motor is cycled OFF. The circuitry in, combination with the sensors, samples the leading or lagging …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 9, 1990 and granted February 9, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 9, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 9, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
