Why did smoke come from the electric motor?

Sergei asks:
A condenser at my pumping station failed and I replaced it, but after that the pump engine did not work for long and smoke came out of it, what happened and what to do?
The answer to the question:
Hello! Did the capacitor fail in the sense that it pierced? Did you replace with a capacitor with the same capacity? The fact that smoke came from the engine - it most likely burned out. It is necessary at least to disassemble and watch / ring the windings for integrity. If they are "bad" then rewind. By the way, from personal experience, replacing the pump is approximately equivalent to rewinding the engine.
