Procedure

  1. Disconnect all stator leads from the terminals to which they are connected.
  2. Using a Wheatstone bridge with at least 0.001 ohm precision, measure resistance across U1-U2, V1-V2, W1-W2, U5-U6, V5-V6 and W5-W6.
  3. Replace the stator if the resistance of any winding is not as specified in Tables 4-2/4-3.
  4. Remove and separate all leads of the generator from the generator load terminal block.
  5. Connect the megger between one phase of the stator and ground while grounding the other two phases.
