MOTOR SURGE COMPARISION TEST
Scope This procedure is to familiarize technicians with the purpose and proper use of
equipment to inject and display a surge on two winding of a motor simultaneously.
Special Equipment 1. A special test instrument specifically designed to apply a surge to one or two
windings and to display the results of this surge on a cathode ray tube.
2. A stable power source for the test instrument (normally 120 or 240 volts AC)
Procedure
Step Action
2 Disconnect the motor from its power source. The leads may be part of
the test specimen, but problems with them will show on the analyzer as
well as the motor.
6 The output from this test instrument can injure or kill its operator.
7 To test a single winding such as a coil, two of the three leads can be
connected together and the machine used. The proper wave shape is
shown in the test equipment manufacturer’s instruction manual.
8 This test may also be used to test any two similar windings in
transformers, DC motors, etc.
