Re: pic: burnt up TETRIX motor

The motor I have here at work failed in a way that it opened the case and exposed the interior of the inductor. It is a 3.9 microhenry RF choke in series with the motor. The shunt cap is .039 microfarad. The motor interior looks OK but the choke is open circuit. It would appear that the thermal protection is a good fix. Please stand by...
