PROCEDURE (continued)
5.Using the ohmmeter, check the rotor winding resis- tance across the slip rings. Normal resistance is approximately 41.5* ohms, at 77°F. (25° C.) See Figure F.9.
6.Measure the resistance to ground. Place one meter probe on either of the slip rings. Place the other probe on any good, unpainted chassis ground. The resistance should be very high, at least 500,000 (500k) ohms.
If the resistance measurements are not as specified the rotor may be faulty and should be replaced.
If these resistance values are normal, continue testing, using the dynamic rotor resistance and ground test.
