Abstract
An improved phase controller is operatively connected to the operating lever or trigger of an electrically powered tool for supplying its motor with electric power from an ac power supply. It includes a device for establishing a divisional voltage derived from the ac voltage across the electric power supply. A variable resistor-and-capacitor series-connection is connected across the motor-and-power supply series-connection. A device provided for supplying the ac motor with electric power when the charging voltage across the capacitor rises above the divisional voltage. The variable resistor is operatively connected to the operating lever, and the capacitor can be charged with electricity at a charging rate which is determined by the variable resistance and the fixed capacitance under the control of the operating lever. The divisional voltage varies in the same way as the voltage across the ac power supply, thus permitting the ignition angle to remain substantially unchanged no matter whether the commercially available electric power may be of different cycles.
