Abstract
A brushless motor includes a circuit protecting case, a holder disposed on the case, a motor shaft rotatably held by the holder, a stator disposed about the holder, a yoke fixed to the motor shaft to rotate therewith, permanent magnets held by the yoke, and a circuit substrate held in the circuit protecting case. The stator includes a plurality of coils which surround the motor shaft. The circuit substrate contains a drive circuit and a control section. The drive circuit includes a switching section which switches the current path directed to the coils of the stator. A partition wall, provided in the circuit protection case, partitions the interior of the case into a first chamber and a second chamber.
