    摘要: A power tool has an electric motor with field windings. In an aspect of the invention, each field winding includes two coils wound with the same number of turns of the same gauge magnet wire. When the motor is first energized, the two coils of each field winding are connected in series, reducing in-rush current. Upon expiration of a soft start period, which can be after the motor reaches a predetermined speed or upon expiration of a predetermined time period, the two coils of each field winding are connected in parallel. In another aspect of the invention, an electric motor used in a power tool includes field windings that are connected in series with a separate start winding when the motor is first energized. Upon expiration of the soft start period, the start winding is bypassed. In another aspect of the invention, the separate start winding includes two sub-windings. The two sub-windings are connected in a way that magnetic field created by the two sub-windings is counterbalanced so that the overall magnetic force created by the start winding in the motor armature is minimized or zero. Also, the voltage across the two sub-windings is minimized or zero. In another aspect, the field windings are connected in series with a start impedance when the motor is first energized and a time delay relay having a set of delay contacts coupled across the start impedance energized. Upon expiration of the soft start period, the time delay contacts close, bypassing the start impedance. In an aspect, the motor is a universal motor.
