How to Judge Whether a Three-Phase Motor Is Good or Bad
A three-phase motor winding consists of three sets: U, V and W. There are two internal connection types: Star (Y) and Delta (△). Multimeter setting: Resistance mode (low resistance range) I. Continuity and Integrity Test of Three-Phase Windings (Conduct test with power disconnected; all external power cables must be detached) 1. Star Connection (neutral point connected together; three live leads plus an optional neutral wire) Measure resistance between each pair: U-V, V-W, W-U Normal condition: The resistance values of the three pairs are roughly equal with minimal deviation. Measure resistance between each live wire and the motor housing (ground…
