I was looking for weather broadcast on 8.3kHz but found my neighbors washingmachine instead

  Shouldn’t be 3-phase unless that’s common wherever you are. Pretty much every washing machine I’ve seen just goes on a normal SP20A circuit.

    There isnt 3-phase mains going into the device, but i assume is uses a 3-phase brushless motor with a driver circuit for speed control

      Yeah could be, that would make sense. I confess, I haven’t opened many of them up.

    If it says inverter on it, it’s using a 3 phase brushless motor. It might be 3ph even if it doesn’t say it.

  Interesting. My AC fan has a noise pattern that revs up as the AC or heater starts. I can hear it on the radio before I hear the fan itself.
