Abstract
An electric motor has been developed that includes a housing to prevent particles from exiting one compartment of the motor, while enabling air flow through another compartment of the motor. The enclosed compartment includes a printed circuit board having a plurality of electronics components to prevent debris produced by a catastrophic failure of an electronic component from escaping the housing. Vents are provided in a separate portion of the housing to enable air to circulate about the primary components of the motor.
