Compressor winding resistance test: common, start and run
How to ohm a single-phase compressor. C to R is the lowest reading, C to S is higher, and R to S equals C to R plus C to S. OL from C to both R and S with a normal R to S reading means the internal overload is open. Any reading from a terminal to the copper means a grounded winding.
