What is a single phase motor winding resistance chart?

If you want to choose the right single-phase motor for your application, you must understand its winding, resistance, and wire connection. A single phase motor winding resistance chart represents the necessary information and resistance capacity of the motor.

Different types of single-phase motors have specific windings, motor connections, and resistance. For example, split phase motors have different winding and working mechanisms than permanent capacitor induction motors. 

A single phase motor consists of two winding; main and auxiliary winding. The main winding is made of thick wires; thus has low resistance. However, the starting winding consists of thin wires having high resistance. Run/start capacitors are connected in series after identification of motor winding.

Xinnuo Motor offers a wide range of other electric motors, such as three-phase motors, industrial motors, and OEM motors

Frequently asked questions

What should be the ideal single phase motor winding resistance?

The ideal winding resistance for a single phase motor is less than 0.5 ohms. If the single phase motor winding resistance exceeds this value, it indicates a malfunction in the motor that may result in motor failure. 

How to check single phase motor winding with a multimeter?

Checking single-phase motor winding with the multimeter is easy. For winding resistance, test the resistance of the body frame and earth wire with the multimeter. If the resistance is 0.5 ohms or less, your motor is in good condition. You can also use a multimeter for testing power supply, insulation tester, and full load amps.
