Application-Specific Information 

Measuring Power Tools and Small Appliances 

For small appliances, connect the GREEN (EARTH) lead to conductors and the RED (LINE) lead to 

insulating material. 

 

For single or double insulated power tools, one lead should be connected to the device’s chuck, 

blade, etc. and the other lead to one of the AC power cord conductors (test both conductors in 

turn). Refer to the power tool application diagram below. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
AC Motor Test  

Disconnect the motor from the line by: 

a.

 

Disconnecting the wires from the motor 

terminals or, 

b.

 

Opening the main switch 

If the main switch is opened, and the motor has a motor-starter, then the starter must be held in 

the ON position. With the main switch opened, the measured resistance will include the 

resistance of the motor wire and all of the other components between the motor and the main 

switch. If a weakness is indicated, the motor and other components should be checked 

individually. If the motor is disconnected at the motor terminals, connect the RED lead to the 

grounded motor housing and the GREEN lead to one of the motor leads. 

AC 
Plug 

For 2 or 3 prong plugs, connect the 
RED lead to one conductor at a time 

Connect the GREEN 
lead to the chuck 

Connect RED lead 
to grounded housing 

Connect GREEN lead 
to the motor leads
