Identifying Windings
The windings of a DC motor can be identified with an ohmmeter. The shunt field winding can be identified by the fact that it has a high resistance as compared to the other two windings. The series field and armature windings have a very low resistance. They can be identified, however, by turning the motor shaft. When the ohmmeter is connected to the series field and the motor shaft is turned, the ohmmeter reading will not be affected. When the ohmmeter is connected to the armature winding and the motor shaft is turned, the reading will become erratic as the brushes make and break contact with different commutator segments.
