Abstract: Portable washing machine is a handy washing machine that can be used for traveling whether the laundry facilities are available or not. The coding has been done for an integrated circuit(IC) by ASIC approach using VHDL. It is a single tub wash cum dry Portable Automatic Washing Machine. The total weight is 12Kg, the height is 0.75 meters and radius is 0.31 meters. This is 1/3rd the weight of Washing Machine that are available in the market. Power consumption in a portable washing machine is minimized using the ASIC approach. As, the transistor size is decreasing day by day. So, the power consumption will also be really less. We have shown the simulations on the basis of the type of fabric being washed. If washing is enabled then user selects the cloth. Cotton, Woolen, Denim and Mixed (different fabrics washed together) are type of clothes that can be put in the washing machine.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new zero current switched, IGBT based cyclo-Inverter, capable of converting power at the main frequency to a higher frequency. An auxiliary switch along with an inductor is used to commutate the IGBT at zero current in order to decrease total internal losses and total harmonic distortion factor in the converter. The proposed converter is compared with the conventional cyclo-inverter and it has been demonstrated that the losses has been reduced approximately 50% by this new switching technique. A prototype of the converter is developed in the lab for verification of the results.
