And, with an open run winding and a high current start winding the resistor over heated and ultimately failed. I've worked on a wide variety of motors and I can't say I've ever...

    Testing AC Motors

    I see you're checking case to phase for a possible short, but do you also check phase to phase resistance? The phases should be within ~10% of each other. Also I've seen temperature related failures where there's a breakdown in the insulation when hot and then looks fine when cold. If your...
