Greetings Esteemed Wrenches;
We have a customer with a new high efficiency washer running on a Magnum
inverter. When it is in wash cycle, the LED lights flicker rhythmically
with its operation. We can see a corresponding distortion of the wave
form on an oscilloscope, but RMS voltage is steady at 117 vac. It does
not cause trouble with incandescent lighting, and the washer works fine.
My questions:
1) Has anyone else seen washing machines causing trouble with lighting
or other loads?
2) Is there any line filtering available that might cure this?
3) Are some LED lights more prone to issues? We are considering
having the customer switch from the Home Depot cheapo LEDs to Phillips
or other higher end bulbs.
4) Could it be related to the bulbs being dimmable? Should we be using
non-dimmable bulbs?
As always thanks in advance for your invaluable input and comments.
