摘要:
An electric household appliance (1), particularly a laundry treating machine, comprising an universal electric motor (6) provided with a first stator winding portion (19) having a first terminal connectable to a voltage source and a second terminal which is connected to a second stator winding portion (20). The household appliance (1) further comprising electronic control means (11) which comprise a chopper regulating circuit (13) which is configured to chopper-regulate the current (I) supplied to the motor (6) based on a first value indicating the required rotor speed (ωr), and a filtering circuit (14) comprising a least one capacitor (25) and an power factor corrector inductor (18) being said first stator winding portion (19). The electronic control means (11) are further configured to selectively connect said capacitor (15) to said first or said second terminal of said first stator winding portion (19).
