Q

Between which two terminals will you test the highest ohm reading?

A

Between run and start

18
Q

When testing a motor winding with the ohmmeter and zero ohms is read, what is the diagnosis?

A

It’s a short motor winding

19
Q

When testing a motor winding with the ohmmeter and infinite is read, what is the diagnosis?

A

It’s a open winding

20
Q

A

12 ohms

23
Q

If a measurable reading is read between run and start, but infinite between common and run and common and start, what is the diagnosis?

A

Open I.P.

24
