ABSTRACT:
A single source of energy is used to determine up to four armature coil or winding resistances and effectively up to four armature winding weld resistances for each test connection or index position of an armature being tested to thereby reduce the test time required for testing commutated armatures while reducing the complexity of the apparatus and test methods applied. Two preferably substantially diametrically opposite driven current paths through the armature windings are driven, and current and voltage measurements are taken at various commutator bars including commutator bars located adjacent current input ends and current output ends of the driven current paths. The resulting measurements and computations using these measurements are used to determine the winding resistances and ultimately the winding weld resistances for armatures and, in particular, for testing armatures for compliance with required specifications. By taking measurements at both ends of the driven current paths, the number of measurements which can be taken at a time or during a given connection pattern to an armature is doubled such that the time is also substantially halved.
