Load Test

CAUTION: Change engagement position of overrunning clutch and make sure it is not slipping.

Perform this test to check maximum output of starter. Use test bench which is able to apply load (brake) to starter. Measure torque value and rotating speed under the specified voltage and current conditions while controlling braking force applied to starter. See Fig 1.
