Q

When testing motor leads to determine common, start or run, which test instrument is used?

A

Ohmmeter

17
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

If a measurable reading is indicated across the motor winding, what condition does this indicate?

A

The windings are good

21
Q

A shorted run winding would read 0.0 between what pins on the compressor?

A

Common and run

22
Q

If the start to common ohm reading is 12 ohms and the run winding is, shorted what would you read between start and run?

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
Q

A________ _________rated at 2 watts and 20,000 ohms is used to discharge capacitors

A

Bleed resistor

25
Q

The only truly reliable method of testing capacitors, is to use what testing instrument?

26
Q

On dual capacitors, witch motor windings are connected to the common terminal?

A

Run and start

27
Q

The rules for replacing run capacitors are, voltages____________and the microfarad rating is the same

A

Same or higher

28
