Figure 5-4. Testing Armature for Grounds (2) Testing Armature. (a) Testing Armature for grounds. Touch armature shaft and the end of each commutator bar with a pair of ohmmeter leads. There should be no continuity. If continuity is indicated between any commutator bar and armature shaft, it indica- tes a grounded armature. Replace grounded arma- ture. See figure 5-4. (b) Testing Armature for shorted Coils. A growler is necessary to test for shorted coils. With the armature in the growler, turn the growler on and hold a thin steel strip parrallel over the armature surface. Turn growler on, and if the steel strip vibrates or is attracted to the armature surface, the armature is shorted or grounded. Turn off growler, rotate armature one- quater turn and repeat test. DO this for one complete revolution of armature. See figure 5-5. If armature has a short or is grounded, replace it. (c) Testing Armature for Open Coils. Test coils for continuity with ohmmeter. Place one lead on commutator bar, other lead on the next bar. If there is the reading If armature discontinuity (infinite resistance), indicates open coil. See figure 5-6. has an open coil, replace it. TM5-6115-585-34 NAVFACP-8-623-34 TO-35C2-455-2 TM-05684C/05685B-34 Figure 5-5.
