According to LG Electronics, variable frequency direct drive motors can significantly reduce the noise and vibration of the washing machine by directly connecting the motor to the load, and can achieve higher durability and energy efficiency.
LG said that half of its DD direct-drive motor production comes from the Changwon plant, which is located 398 kilometers south of Seoul. The plant's annual production of DD motors reached 1 million units in 2005. Since then, this figure has grown dramatically, reaching a huge production of 8 million units in 2017 alone.
LG further stated that the total length of the cable used in the 70 million DD motors is equivalent to 22 round trips from the Earth to the Moon.
LG said that its variable frequency direct drive motor has been certified by global authoritative organizations, including German VDE certification.
LG said that its ability to produce its own DD motors has made the market a favorite for more than 20 years. The technology company said that the company's ongoing research has produced the fourth-generation inverter direct-drive DD motor, while the fourth-generation cost is only a quarter of the first-generation DD motor in 1998.
These cost-reduction efforts have helped LG Electronics produce high-quality variable-frequency direct-drive motors.
[We intend to install high-quality components with high performance on more home appliances so that our customers can experience the latest advantages of this technology," LG Electronics said.
