Bench Testing: Stator

  1. Place ohmmeter on lowest scale. Connect ohmmeter across stator leads. Resistance between leads should be approximately .14-.15 ohms for 55-amp alternator and .09-.10 ohms for 65 through 90-amp alternators. If resistance is incorrect, stator has open or shorted windings and must be replaced.
  2. Place ohmmeter on X 1000 scale. Connect ohmmeter between stator core and stator lead. No continuity should exist. If continuity exists, stator is grounded and must be replaced.
