• Connect one meter test lead to a good ground.
Connect the other test lead to the stator power
winding (Figure 3.45).
A reading of infinity should be measured. A reading of other
than infinity indicates a stator winding
shorted to ground.
Testing Dual Voltage Type Power Windings
• Set a VOM to the “OHM” scale.
• Connect the test leads to the stator wires #11 and
#22.
Measure the resistance and compare it to the nominal
resistance from the appropriate table
(Briggs & Stratton Power Products
®
“Portable Generator
Rotor/Stator Resistance Tables Pub. #87971 Rev 6 or later).
• Connect the test leads to the stator wires #22, and
#44.
Measure the resistance and compare it to the nominal
resistance from the appropriate table. Analyze the results the
same as in “Testing Single Voltage Type Power Winding”.
• Connect one meter test lead to a good ground.
Connect the other test lead to the stator power
winding. (Refer back to Figure 3.45).
A reading of infinity should be measured. A reading of other
than infinity indicates a stator winding
shorted to ground.
