MAKE OPEN CIRCUIT TEST FOR FIELD
WINDINGS
All four field windings are connected in parallel. Test each
winding for an open circuit.
60
10
Connect a test battery (B) to field terminal (C) and either
12
insulated brush lead (D), using a resistor (A) to limit
current draw.
Use a hacksaw blade (E) to test winding for magnetism. If
any winding is not magnetic, the winding is open circuited.
Repair or replace windings.
A--1/4-ohm Resistor
B--12-Volt Battery
NOTE: Because 1/4-ohm resistors capable of carrying
C--Field Terminal
several hundred watts are not widely available, a
D--Insulated Brush Lead
suggested alternative is to connect four 1-ohm
E--Hacksaw Blade
resistors in parallel. Each resistor should be rated
for at least 150 watts. A carbon pile can also be
used. Limit current to 40--70 amps.
There is no suitable way to check field windings for short
circuits. Winding resistance is too low to permit detection
of a short circuit.
