Bench Testing: Stator

  1. Check stator for short circuits. If one or more coils are burned, stator may be shorted.
  2. Connect a self-powered low voltage test light between stator plates and stator terminal. If light illuminates, insulation between stator winding and stator plates is defective and stator should be replaced.
CAUTION: Use only specified test light. Do not use 110 or 220-volt test light on this or any other alternator test procedure.
