摘要： A circuit that increases input voltage to higher output voltage connected to a drive. The circuit can include a power input that receives the input voltage from a power source and at least one capacitor bank connected with the power input. A current-limiting surge suppressor is positioned between the power input and the at least one capacitor bank. The current-limiting surge suppressor includes a first current-limiting path and a second bypass path. A drain, when operable, dissipates the charge of the at least one capacitor bank. The drive is operable in response to the higher voltage output from the at least one capacitor bank.

摘要： The present disclosure discloses a remote control method for a washing machine, a washing machine and a mobile terminal in wireless connection with the washing machine are used, and the remote control method includes the following steps: a status feedback channel that is between the washing machine and the mobile terminal and that is configured to transmit a working status of the washing machine is established; a control request sent by the mobile terminal is received by the washing machine; and after an activation key disposed on the washing machine is activated, a control channel that is between the washing machine and the mobile terminal and that is configured to transmit a control instruction is established. The remote control method for a washing machine disclosed in the present disclosure, solves the safety problem of the remote control of the washing machine. The control channel that is between the washing machine and the mobile terminal and that is configured to transmit a control instruction can be established only when a person who controls the washing machine in advance pre-ensures that the washing machine is in a safe state or another person ensures that the washing machine is in a safe state, and further triggers the activation key, thereby implementing remote control of the washing machine. The remote control method of the present disclosure improves the running safety of the washing machine.
