The present invention relates to a system for programming domestic appliances and a method for programming assembly-line programmable domestic appliances, especially a system wherein programming occurs without the physical connection between a transmission unit and a reprogrammable processor present in a processing unit integrated into the domestic appliance. The system for programming domestic appliances comprises a remote programming unit (UR) and a reprogrammable processor (PR) present in a processing unit (UP) integrated into the domestic appliance (E), the remote programming unit (UR) being provided with a data transmission device (T) and the reprogrammable processor (PR) present in a processing unit (UP) being provided with a data receiving device (R), and the data transmission and reception devices (T, R) are based on a magnetic field. The remote programming unit (UR) is loaded with at least one program code (S) to be transmitted by the data transmission device (T) of the remote programming unit (UR) to the reprogrammable processor (PR) present in the processing unit (UP) of the domestic appliance (E). A method for programming assembly-line programmable domestic appliances is also disclosed, which is applicable to control the system object of the present invention.

System for programming domestic appliances and method for programming assembly-line programmable domestic appliances

A system and a method for energizing an auxiliary winding of a capacitor-start single-phase induction motor for reducing the voltage level in the bidirectional switches during the blocking of said switches and for providing smooth switching of the electromechanical bidirectional switch. This is achieved by a system for energizing an auxiliary winding of an electric motor, the auxiliary winding being connectable in series with a voltage network, the system including a start capacitor and an electromechanical switch connected in series with the auxiliary winding, the system including an electronic switch connected in parallel with the series association of the electromechanical switch and the start capacitor, the electronic switch and the electromechanical switch being used to turn on the auxiliary winding, the system configured so that the electronic switch can be turned on simultaneously with the electromechanical switch and kept on simultaneously with the electromechanical switch for a stabilization time.
