[QUOTE="KR Sol, post: 68940, member: 1588"] Hi, Before installation test winding resistance, then full IR live/Neutral Live/Earth Neutral/Live. then after installation test back to panel and fully test control and feed circuits, I know this sounds a bit long winded but you could fit a perfectly good motor and find that the control/feed circuit has been played with when the motor failed and someone whilst fault finding has put a wire back incorrectly and motor casing is live. then the big finger of blame gets pointed in your direction, better to spend an extra 30-40mins testing and be sure the motor and circuit is sound.
