KEY:
O = performed by in-house personnel
X = performed by qualified HVAC service personnel
# = Test to be performed with compressor circuit in operation
Note: Some motors use power factor correction capacitors and others use a surge capacitor. In all cases,
capacitors must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain a useful megohmmeter reading. Failure to disconnect
capacitors will result in low readings. Only qualified electrical technicians should perform service.
