You need a Megger tester. With one lead attached to the winding and the other attached to the motor housing, the Megger sends a high voltage through the winding. The Megger reads the resistance, letting you know if there is a short to ground.

The function of a start winding in a split-phase motor is to?

a start winding on a motor is used to add torque to start a motor, and more importantly to establish the direction that the motor will turn. to reverse a motor normally means to reverse the start winding. the run winding will work the same in either direction, the start winding determines the direction.


What happens if field winding of a running dc shunt motor suddenly breaks open?

when the field winding of a running dc shunt motor suddenly breaks open the motor fails to run because in the motor the stationary winding is armature and rotatory is field winding

Will a induction motor run on one winding once it has been started?

A single-phase induction motor has a main winding and a starting winding. When the motor has run up to normal speed the starting winding can be switched out, but for small motors this is not usually worth the trouble.
