Notes on IR (Megohmmeter) testing: The maximum measurement range for the 380260 is 2000MΩ. Frequently, insulation resistance will exceed this value. When this happens, the display will indicate “1”, meaning the resistance is very high and the insulation being tested is good.

If the resistance measurement indicates a weakness, raise the brushes off of the commutator and separately test the armature, field coils and brush rigging (one at a time). Leave one lead connected to the grounded motor housing while testing the motor components. This also applies to DC Generators. 380260-en-EU_V2.5 8/14 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
