Re: Fixing Burnt Motors

The motor we pulled the photographed inductor from did not smell burned nor did it have any visual release of "magic smoke". We have noticed with some other motors that even though some magic smoke was released they continued to run but at a degrated level. Some guesses within our shop is that some of the inductor's windings fused together, allowing current to still flow through the motor.
