You started your collection with Bonk ' s Adventure ? How . <| sep |> Being extinct and then found in Algeria . Typical weekend story . <| sep |> Zeke said that he would save Eren one day , so he probably has his own plans . Maybe they ' ll team up in the future ? <| sep |> Sounds like an asynchronous AC motor . It is a 3 phase motor and can only be run on 2 phases by making 2 phases into 3 with the help of a capacitor . As a rule of thumb it ' s always the capacitor . To get the motor windings to fail you ' d have to stall the motor for a prolonged time . And then it would burn the insulation and fail short instead of open circuit . If you can find the 3 terminals that actually are on the motor hidden behind the 2 terminals you can check that the resistances of the 3 windings are about equal . Edit I had another look at this and can ' t explain the open circuit you are seeing . Still I can ' t think of how what you described would burn the motor windings into an open circuit . There may be thermal protection hidden somewhere that is now permanently open circuit while both the motor and the capacitor survived .
