Inspect Alternator Rotor Assembly

Continuity
3. Check continuity between slip rings
Using an electrical tester, check that continuity exsits between the slip rings.
HINT:
The rotor is a turning electromagnet and has a coil inside. each end of the coil is connected to a slip ring.
Checking the continuity between slip rings is used to detect open circuit inside the coil.
If a problem is found in the insulation and/or continuity check, replace the rotor.
