Bench Testing: Rotor
- Connect one ohmmeter lead to each rotor slip ring. If resistance is about 2-3 ohms, rotor is okay. If about 2-3 ohms resistance is not present, rotor is defective. Connect an ohmmeter lead to any rotor slip ring, and connect remaining lead to rotor core. If continuity exists, replace rotor assembly.
- Measure slip ring diameter. Minimum slip ring diameter is 1.024" (26 mm). Replace slip ring(s) if not within specification.
NOTE:
To test stator or diodes, separate them by unsoldering connecting wires. Use just enough heat to melt solder. Excess heat will damage diodes.
