The question should be, "How should electrical current measured?" Current is measured in Amperes using an Ammeter placed in series with the conductor of the current. This is impractical, so most ammeters have windings of wire that pick up the field generated around the conductor in question. This winding, or coil, is very carefully sized and the meter very carefully calibrated to yield correct readings of current without a direct connection.
Generator output voltage is determined by the number of windings, strength of magnetic flux and the speed the flux crosses the windings. With the flux and windings remaining the same, a larger unit will have higher voltage than a smaller one. There is no single answer to this question.
Transformers have windings - typically each winding is designated for a particular voltage. Any one of the windings can be an "output", as any winding can be an "input". Usually for consumers, one of the windings is intended to be 120V for the input. In that case, all of the other windings would be an output.I should also mention that while you can have several outputs, you can only have one input. Some transformers have the windings color coded to designate input and outputs.Hope this helps!
The three windings are made the same to maintain a balance in the motor.
The frequency in Hz is governed by the speed of a generator. The voltage is governed by the winding and types of connections of these windings.
With an ohm-meter. Check for continuity in the RUN and START windings, and also from the terminals to compressor case for shorting. There should be continuity in the windings and no continuity from windings to compressor case.
Usually you check mega-ohms by reading the resistance between compressor shell and the windings. There should be a large amount of resistance which means the windings are not shorted to the compressor case or shell. Use a DVM (digital volt ohm meter) to check the resistance.
If the pressures are always equal running, the compressor is bad and would need replaced
just disconnect power & get ur Ohmmeter,and test ; Start-Run//Common-Run//Common-Start..... you should get the same readings on all 3 phases if the compressor is good !!
Briggs & Stratton Ignition Coils have NO documented measurement for the primary windings, however readings of between 0.3 and 0.7 ohms are common. The secondary windings should measure between 2K and 4K (including the resistance of the spark lead)
For all practical purposes NO. The only voltage measured will be the voltage drop of the contact itself. This should be very low if the contact is good.

the compressor should be under the hood on the front passenger side, it should be.
The cable compressor should come with an instruction manual which you should read before operating the cable compressor. There are also some instructional videos on YouTube.
There are several parts of the device that can be tested separately, but in general, the only way to truly know if a compressor is working would be to finally just turn it on.You could test the electrical resistance of the motor windings to make certain that there is no open circuit.You could test the capacitor of a Cap Start motor.You could test the limit switch to make certain that it would turn the compressor on and off at the appropriate times.You could turn the compressor shaft by hand to determine if the internal components are functioning as expected.You could even disassemble the compressor head to determine if the reed valves are intact.Since the question didn't specify whether this was a sealed compressor or a conventional compressor it should be pointed out that a sealed compressor is... sealed. You can't get to any serviceable parts so the compressor either works or it doesn't; the only way to determine functionality is to turn it on.
If the clutch disengages properly then the compressor should not be running. Most likely the clutch itself is bad instead of the compressor.
It should be right on the front of the compressor - usually the clutch is inside the v-belt/serpentine pulley on the compressor
