Been given a 'dead' angle grinder, generic design with 10 inch disc.
I get continuity through the circuit, from plug up to switch and beyond, and from motor windings, through the brushes, back down.
It all stops at an unmarked lump with three wires. I assume it is a slow start device, delivering power progressively in relation to the disc momentum.
Its about an inch square and sits in the handle of the grinder.
Any idea what it is called and how to get a replacment ?
