Re: (ET) Testing I5 motor



Sparks and lots of them, depending on how quick you are. <VBG>It is essentially a closed switch, a direct short.

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?
