8. If the resistance test proves inconclusive, use a
megohmmeter to test the stator as described in the
next step.
Note: Because ohmmeter accuracy varies,
resistance readings are approximate
readings. Take readings of the rotor and
stator at room temperature.
Note: Make sure that all stator leads are
disconnected before running the
megohmmeter test.
9. Use a megohmmeter to determine whether the
stator is shorted to ground.
a. Apply 500 volts DC to any stator lead and the
stator frame. Perform the megohmmeter test
following the instructions of the megohmmeter
manufacturer.
b. Repeat the test on the other stator leads until
each coil is tested.
Note: A reading of approximately 500 kOhms
(1/2 megohm) and higher i ndicates a
good stator.
c. Repair or replace the stator if any reading is
less than approximately 500 kOhms. A reading
of less than 500 kOhms indicates deterioration
of the winding insulation and possible current
flow to ground.
