During the electric strength test breakdown occurred (unsatisfactory reinforce insulation). This product poses a risk of fire because during the normal load test the speed suddenly dropped, smoke was emitted through the ventilation holes and the appliance caught fire. Due to the short-circuit and fire the insulation of the stator-coil and armature coil burnt down. This product does not include all required markings.
