DC motor with 3 wires?

By alexnomad

August 30, 2010

Hi guys!

anyone knows what the third wire in a dc motor is for? I have two dc motors with 3 wires (blue, yellow and black), the first two are the common ones but don't know why there is a third one. I have unscrewed the cap of the motor and this wire is connected to the shield / armour of the motor.

Perhaps I should connect this wire to ground to minimize EMI... Any ideas? Thanks
