The leads woing to the coild should definately read far less than 80kOhm.. imagine you just want 1 Amp in that coil, you would have to have the voltage on the leads of 80.000 volts..
It should be below 1 ohm I would assume. To accurately measure ohm at that magnitude, you do it by applywing a voltage, and measuring the current, and then calculate the resistance.. and im not talking about applying 220V ac, just whatever your transfpormator can do DC wise. 2009/6/28 Stephen Wille Padnos <[email protected]> > Rainer Schmidt wrote: > > >I have a stepper motor with 4 leads.
