6Measuring Armature Coil Resistance
Set the meter to read ohms. Use the lowest range.
Short the meter leads and record the value. This
is the meter error value. Attach your meter to
the two motor leads. Slowly turn the armature
shaft and record values at 45 intervals. Average
these values.
Caution Turning the armature shaft quickly,
induces a current in the armature windings. This
Will damage the meter.
