Abstract: A motor-driven appliance of one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor and a controller. The controller includes a physical quantity detector, a variation deriving portion, a loaded condition detector, and driving output portion. The physical quantity detector detects a physical quantity related to an operating state of the motor. The variation deriving portion derives a variation in the physical quantity based upon the physical quantity detected by the physical quantity detector. The loaded condition detector detects that the motor is under a loaded condition in which the motor is applied with a load based upon the variation derived by the variation deriving portion. The driving output portion generates the driving output corresponding to whether the loaded condition is detected by the loaded condition detector.

Abstract: A power tool according to one aspect of one embodiment described in the disclosure includes a brushless motor, a battery voltage detection unit configured to detect a voltage of a battery that provides energy for driving the brushless motor, a rotational position detection unit configured to detect a rotational position of the brushless motor, and a control unit configured to control a drive output supplied to the brushless motor based at least in part on a signal from the rotational position detection unit. The control unit controls a current conduction angle and/or an advance angle supplied to the brushless motor so that, during control of the drive output to the brushless motor, a rotational speed or a conducting current of the brushless motor approaches or reaches a target value, the target value being based at least in part on a battery voltage detected by the battery voltage detection unit.
