The 6 Best Motor Testing Instruments for 2023

If you’re a technician or electrician operating within automotive, wastewater, power generation or any other industry with electric motors, you need the highest-quality portable diagnostic equipment with you.

Motor testing is critical to avoid failure and costly downtime. You can only rely on a traditional Megohmmeter or one of the top multimeters today to detect faults to ground. For more convenience and sophisticated identification of winding faults, consider making these newest motor testing products of 2022 a part of your maintenance program. These and other instruments marketed as motor testers make measurements of motor variables that need further analysis to generate answers on motor health. This action requires higher skilled technicians to generate answers, whereas a true motor tester gives you clear answers to the true condition and health of your motor.

Surge testing is not portable. Surge testing or HIPOT testing is also not efficient for field testing turn to turn faults while monitoring the condition of an electrical motor. For years people claimed surge testing was the only way to find a turn to turn fault. Surge testing is also very subjective, requires tremendous experience, and may result in differing opinions and results from different analysts. Surge testing also only identifies the first couple of turns in a coil.

Choosing the right tool for the right job is critical. For more convenience and sophisticated identification of winding faults, consider making these newest motor testing products of 2023 a part of your maintenance program.

Benefits of Motor Testers include: 

  • Automatic tests (no more moving around test leads)
  • Clear answers in good, warn, bad, save data easy with one button 
  • Software & APP available
  • Fast and reliable troubleshooting
  • Tests hard to reach motors (submerged, overhead, etc.) with greater safety for technicians
