Detect and Fix Short Circuits: The Role of Ohmmeter in Electric Motor Maintenance

Which meter is used to determine if the windings on an electric motor have shorted?a) Voltmeterb) Ammeterc) Ohmmeterd) Wattmeter

C

The meter that is generally used to determine if the windings on an electric motor have shorted is an Ohmmeter. An Ohmmeter is a device that measures the resistance of a circuit component. By checking the resistance of the windings, it is possible to determine if there is a short circuit and identify which of the windings has the short. Short circuits can cause significant damage to electric motors and can be detected and fixed by using an Ohmmeter. A Voltmeter measures voltage, an Ammeter measures electric current, and a Wattmeter measures the power in Watts.
