ELECTRICAL DATA
To Detect Open and Short Circuits in
Electrical Components
Open circuits in the coils of electrical components may be
detected by isolating the coil and checking for continuity with
an ohmmeter or with the unit in series with a light or bell circuit.
Shorted turns are indicated by a current draw substantially
above normal (connect ammeter in series with suspected
element and impose normal voltage) or D.C. resistance sub-
stantially below normal. The current method is recommended
for coils with very low D.C. resistance.
Motor current draw in the stator should be measured with the
rotor in place and running. Brake, relay and contactor coil
current should be measured with the core iron in operating
position.
