Using proper test equipment, check the stator<br />

for grounds, opens, and shorts in the windings.<br />

Testing for Grounds: Some generators have<br />

ground connections tothe frame. Checkwiring<br />

diagram. All stator leads must be isolated for<br />

testing.<br />

Use a megger or insulation resistance meter<br />

which applies 500 VDC or more to the test<br />

leads. Test each stator winding for a short to<br />

the laminations. A reading less than 100,000<br />

ohms indicates a questionable stator. Thor-<br />

oughly dry the stator and retest.<br />

Testing for Open or Shorted Wlndings: Test<br />

for continuity between coil leads shown in Fig-<br />

ure 7: wire pairs TI -T2 and T3-T4 should have<br />

equal resistance. Use an accurate instrument<br />

for this test such as a Kelvin bridge or digital<br />

ohmmeter. Resistance values at 77" F (25" C)
