an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
a. Touch one probe to the frame (1).
b. Touch the other probe to each of the brushes (2)
attached to the field coil.

is any continuity at either brush, then the field coil(s)
are grounded and the field frame must be replaced.

ohmmeter or continuity tester.
a. Touch one probe to the field wire (1).
b. Touch the other probe to each of the brushes attached
to the field coil(s) (2).
c. There should be continuity (0 ohms). If there is no
continuity at either brush, then the field coil(s) are
open and the field frame must be replaced.
15. See Figure 5-12 . Test BRUSH HOLDER INSULATION
with an ohmmeter or continuity tester.
a. Touch one probe to holder plate (1).
b. Touch the other probe to each of the positive (insu-
lated) brush holders (2).
c. There should be no continuity (infinite ohms). If there
is continuity at either brush holder, replace the brush
holder assembly.
