That'll be the bridge rectifier then. I put two capacitors and rectifiers on the transformer as it has more than one secondary. Were you using both (one for each motor) as I think that's what I said to do to share the load? Looks like it needed a heatsink, unless something else caused it. I can post you another (this time bigger) bridge rectifier so you can solder it in? I've got to go to a lecture quite soon... I'll give you my mobile number so you can call me after about 5pm.

It's strange as that's the same bridge rectifier as I'm using, and mine has ran 4 of the 3Nm motors just fine for a long time, which adds up to a lot more current than the

I think transformer gives 40VAC, so about 55V DC... can remember exactly. Either way it's a lot more than 24V.
