[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1175101, member: 277"] [B]FWIW, and IMO[/B], ohming stator wire continuity is not a good method to check stators using home level meters. Even a 4 1/2 digit meter isn't really up to the job. If each phase is within a couple of volts of each other and there is essentially infinite resistance to ground then the stator is good. To measure wire resistance professionally I use Kelvin 4 wire meters or other specialized lab equipment. Edit: While I was typing the OP was posting. Winding coils with heavy gauge wire is a wrestling match. If you use too much force the wire stretches then you don't get the calculated current flow. If you bend the wire roughly or use sharp bends it stresses or compromises the insulation. You can use high quality insulation that resists heat and chemicals but it can be too brittle for some winding methods. The best insulation that can take tough winding, including edge winding/coining without breakdown from the process but it is expensive. [/QUOTE]
