Stator winding are checked for open circuit and ground circuit.

To check for open circuit, touch the prods of 110 volt test lamp to the stator windings terminals as illustrated. If the lamp does not light up, the stator winding is open. To complete the test, move one test lamp prod to the other stator winding terminal.

To check for a ground circuit, touch one prod of the 110 volt test lamp to the stator frame and the other test prod to any of the stator winding terminals. The test lamp should not light. If it does light up, the stator winding is grounded.

If an ohmmeter is available, these tests may be conducted by measuring resistance values.

Visual inspection for or charred winding relation should also be conducted at this time.
