Quantitative current data allows localization of ground. To perform these tests obtain a test signal from a power source and insert an ammeter between source and probe. Provide a return lead to the source from the motor frame.

In Figure 6-25, connecting the probe to point “A,” which is closest to the grounded coil will provide a higher current flow then when connected to Points “B” or “C.”

It is harder to localize grounds in delta configured windings because current differences aren’t as great due to multiple flow paths.
