yes because I blew the thing by shorting two of the pins like and idiot and a big blueflash and pop GONE. it was originaly just needing new brushes... well if its an ac motor whats the pcd within the motor casr with this bridge rectifier doing?
It's not an AC motor. It's a 230VDC permanent magnet motor, with a bridge rectifier to convert the AC mains to DC and a few inductors and capacitors to suppress and radio frequency interference. These are quite common in small mains appliances, which need to run at a constant speed. Dyson vacuum cleaners, use a similar type of motor to drive the carpet brush. A similar type of motor is used in battery operated tools and toys, but with fewer windings, made of thicker copper, given the same power rating
The motor's case should be earthed, unless the whole thing is in a plastic case, with a non-conductive drive system.
Look at the back of the motor, with the brushes removed. You should be able to see two 'U' shaped magnets, fixed to the metal case, at either side of the windings.
