Winding Continuity -
US Motor
CAUTION
Disconnect Power Source before checking.
1. Terminal board connected for 230 V.
2. Set ohmmeter to R x 1, adjust to 0 (NOTE: Digital
meters are typically used, the reading on this
equipment should be showing OL or infinity).
3. Discharge the capacitor and take the following
ohm readings:
a. Measure resistance between L1 and L2 on
switch, this measures Main and Aux. winding
continuity.
b. Measure resistance between L1 and L2 on
switch, depress the actuator sleeve and this
removes Aux. from circuit giving continuity of
Main winding only.
