Hello! Does anybody know what happens to a series- or shunt DC motor if it is intentionally exposed to a runaway? I know the motor overspeeds, but how does it stop? Does the winding insulation burn up pretty fast (and making it stop) or is it possible that the speed on the rotor can increase until the speed itself makes the motor shatter? The reason I wonder is because I want to test this just for fun, with a startermotor used in a car
