FAQ
Can M500 be used on 3 phase units?
Yes. Attach 1 lead to chassis and 1 lead to the motor terminal. Repeat for each phase.
Will this work on Scroll compressors?
The M500 sends high voltage spikes (very low amps) through the windings (must be grounded to the case) testing the insulation. It works fine on scroll compressors.
