Appendix 2: How to Check Motor Condition
Examine resistance and insulation resistance of Motor windings to check if the Motor is in working
condition. The Motor is in normal condition if the checking procedures below are all satisfactory.
First, check the winding resistance including the Motor cable. If the result is not satisfactory, check the
Motor only.
