While we don't like to rely on ohms testing as appliance technicians, those tests have their place -- such as if you want to verify that a compressor's windings are in spec. But if you want to do an ohms test on a split-phase compressor's windings, you'll need to identify which of the three terminals on the compressor's casing corresponds to which winding.

To do so, you have to have a little bit of knowledge about how split-phase compressor windings are arranged, and what their specifications are. Fortunately for you, that's exactly what we teach in this excerpt from one of our many full-length technical training webinars. Give it a watch!
