Brushless motor controller

[Simon MorrallParticipant @simonmorrall40901]

Good morning,

So the main controller board on my mill (Warco WM18B) has started tripping the fuse in the house. Did some tests and it appears the board's heatsink is live. The control board in question is covered with a horrible black epoxy type material so repairing it isn't really an option..(I understand why it's there)

From what I can tell the motor is a 1.5kw DC brushless motor with 3 cables to drive the phases of the motor cycle and 5 thin wires which I think tell the board where the motor position is. (positive, negative and 3 wires for each stage)

Can anyone advise on a suitable replacement control driver? I did consider a replacement board from Warco which is a few hundred but I really don't like the fact it could happen again with no way of doing any tests on the board.

Thanks
