- Reading exceeding specification indicates a damaged slip ring, welded connection or a broken wire. Low reading indicates a shorted wire or slip ring.
- Place one ohmmeter lead to a slip ring and remaining lead on rotor shaft. No reading should be obtained. Rotor coil is grounded to shaft if reading is obtained. Repair or replace rotor if defective.
