Most standard household appliances and portable hand tools can be adapted to variablespeed operation by use of this simple half-wave SCR phase control. It can be used as the speed control unit for the following typical loads providee they use series universal (brush type) motors.

When the pot voltage rises above the armature voltage, current flows through CR1 into the gate of the SCR, triggering it, and thus applying the remainder of that half cycle supply voltage to the motor. The speed at which the motor operates can be selected by R2. Stable operation is possible over approximately a 3-to-1 speed range.
