 		 #98466 - I doubt this will work with DC motors
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Russell said:
The obvious test for shorted turns is the resistance measurement. Another method is to view the winding as an inductor and form a crude resonant circuit and apply a current pulse. You then count the number of 'rings' - you could use a PC & sound card as a oscilloscope. If there are shorted turns then the circuit will not 'ring' as much if at all.

I doubt that this methode will work with DC motors. Think about how much the inductance depends on actual position of rotor and stator! So, fine shorts cannot reliably be detected with this methode, I guess.
