Hi, I'm in the UK and need some help & pointers on a motor replacement. I have my mother-in-laws roller shutter garage door in bits as the control board burnt. I've made a remote control / relay unit but am unsure if the original motor is working, or what to replace it with.
The original motor is 240V. 2.5 Inch Dia & 3Inch Long. It has terminals marked + - and brushes. There was a capacitor on the board. Does this make it a DC motor or universal ??
What would be a good way to drive a motor from a 240V AC supply that would allow it to be reversed.
Any good websites to aid picking a motor type ? etc
TIA Ron
