Re: (ET) Testing I5 motor



         The more rubbery of the two pairs go to the Klixon® limiter that's in the field windings. Applying voltage there will result in drama. Do you have a Homeowner's Service manual?

It could possibly run without the field energized, but more valid results would be obtained with field voltage present.

On my newly acquired I5 I would like to test the motor using the 12v "method". Can i just connect 12v to the armature, or do i need to also connect 12v to the field?
