I think he mean infinity which means open circuit. You shouldn’t see any resistance on the meter when you doing the test. if you see resistance that means the either the power wire is shorted or the motor itself it’s shorted. To know if it’s the motor or the wire you can disconnect the wire on the motor side and do the ohms test again if on the meter showing you OL that means the wire is good the problem is inside the motor
perfect video, very informative and ... straight to the point. thanks Mike!
Big Mike, you're the man. Thank you for this informative video. Your experience shows through the simplicity of your explaination.
Thank you. I enjoy passing the knowledge and experience to others. Stay safe
Thanks for the info. I’m still learning about 3 phase electric.That helps thanks again.
You can do it!
Are you a teacher? I really hope you’re because the way you explain everything is knowledgeable and precise.
I taught industrial maintenance and electricity at TCAT Clarksville, Tn. I sure miss it
Semper Fi Mike! Good to see you...
When you say 0 ohms to ground when testing phase to ground, do you actually mean infinity? OPEN circuit?

@@kenliang6946 Thanks, that is what I thought.
@@Neil-r8z yes. I misspoke in the vid. Thanks for the catch.
I always thought the terminal blocks were 5/16" lmao. I don't own a 9/32" socket lol
What if you have heaters in the overload instead of bi-metal strips? wouldn't you have to correct the short or problem then replace the heaters?
I didn't know that if your multimeter reads more than 100 ohms it does not sound. Where does that info come from, Sr., if I may ask?
Experience. It will vary between meters as I’ve experienced as low as 80ohms that no tone would be emitted.
@@bigmikeh5827 Thank you, Sr.
