Single-coil Testing

NOTE: The processes described in this section apply to testing coils with normal impedance. For testing low-
impedance devices, refer to chapter 6, "Using the Baker AT101 ZTX with Baker AWA-IV Analyzers" on page 119.

Go/No Go Surge Testing

This example describes a common application of conducting Go/No Go surge tests on a batch/lot of coils. While
single coils can be subjected to a full battery of tests, only surge testing is used in this example process.
You can create a separate Test ID and a Motor ID to use during the testing process if you prefer, but it is not
necessary. Everything in the process happens within the Surge Test window, and editing a Test ID is not part of the
process.
Likewise, a dedicated Motor ID is not required because test information is not saved. Of course, you have the option
to create and use dedicated IDs, but the process is a bit more complicated using that approach. If you prefer to
collect testing data during the process, or want to use a process that can be re-used over time, consider using the
Single-coil Testing Using a Test Reference method, which is described in the next section.
1. Select a Motor ID to start the process then click on the Tests tab.
2. The Surge Test can be ON or OFF. It has not effect on the test process.
3. Click on the test configuration button (volts) in the Surge Test row.
4. The Surge Test window opens.
