1. Disconnect power at circuit breaker.
2. Remove control panel.
3. Place test leads between terminals A and C on left side of contactor.
4. Check the resistance and compare to the allowable range in the following table:
Voltage
Model EZ-3
Allowable Resistance (Ohms)
Model EZ-5
Allowable Resistance (Ohms)
208 8 to 16 6 to 12
220 9 to 18 7 to 13
240 11 to 21 8 to 15
380 28 to 53 21 to 39
415 34 to 63 24 to 46
480 45 to 84 33 to 61
5. Check resistance between terminals A and B and between terminals B and C similarly.
