Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #649 (Set 22)

Besides checking for grounds, for what other purpose can a megohmmeter be used on a DC motor?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — checking for an open field coil

Megohmmeters apply high DC test voltage to evaluate insulation resistance for grounds. However, the high-resistance test circuit can also verify continuity, allowing technicians to detect an open field coil during bench testing.
