Zusammenfassung: | A power tool (PT) for connection to AC mains (20) via at least one residual current protective device (RCCD; PRCD) is disclosed. The power tool has a DC motor (DCM), a power factor correction unit (PFC) for converting AC mains power to DC power at a DC voltage higher than the AC mains voltage, and a motor frequency inverter (MFI) for driving the DC motor with DC power from the power factor correction unit and controlling the torque and/or the number of revolutions per time unit of the DC motor, The power factor correction unit (PFC) is configured to control the conversion of AC power to DC power such that in case of a ground fault (60) which causes residual current (I) in a protective earth line (PE), the residual current will have a waveform (80) lacking a smooth DC component. |
