Abstract
An electric working machine may include a brushless motor and a motor controller. The motor controller may include three upper switching elements, three lower switching elements, and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to execute a short-circuit braking operation for applying a braking force to the brushless motor by bringing the three upper switching elements into a non-conductive state and bringing the three lower switching elements into a conductive state. The control unit may be configured to start the short-circuit braking operation at a predetermined timing. When the short-circuit braking operation is started at the predetermined timing, polarities of induced voltages of first to third phase terminals of the brushless motor are reversed by a time when an electrical angle of the brushless motor increases by 180 degrees from the start of the short-circuit braking operation.
