Measurement Example
Testing Winding Quality with Resistance Measurement
To operate a motor efficiently, it's necessary to apply a large current.
To accommodate such currents, thick windings with low resistance are essential.
To accommodate such currents, thick windings with low resistance are essential.
What can resistance values tell us?
- Incorrect Wire Thickness
- Incorrect Number of Turns
- Winding Shorts
Motor Windings
Transformer Winding
Coil Winding
Performance Required for Resistance Measurement
Winding resistance, which is continually falling as technology progresses, can be accurately measured using a resistance meter.
Required Performance
- Low-Resistance Measurement When measuring large windings, where low resistance values are increasingly becoming the norm, values must be managed on the order of 10 μΩ.
- Ambient Temperature Correction It's essential to perform temperature correction since wire resistance values vary with temperature.
