This is an infographic about what is an infographic in a Fun LEGO Design. A good infographic is simple and requires very little text. Simple and fun, this is a really good design that has had some phenomenal success in social media sharing. -Anuj.
Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately  7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.
The total current draw of my circuit will typically be less than 200mA unless the alarm is sounding, and then it will go up some. Also, I was planning on using the 12V from the transformer to power the horn(siren) directly and switch it on with a power Mosfet.
