Checking the starter when running without load (Skoda Rapid NH1)

1. Clamp the starter in a vice with soft pads and connect a fully charged 12-volt battery to the starter as follows:

2. Connect the control ammeter (with a measurement limit of up to 100 A) and a carbon rheostat as shown in the figure.

3. Connect the voltmeter as shown in the figure.



4. Set the carbon rheostat to the off position.

5. Connect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery to the starter housing.

6. Use a rheostat to set the voltage to 11 V according to the voltmeter.

7. Turn on the starter and check that the maximum current consumption is within the norm, as well as the smoothness and ease of rotation of the starter anchor. Current consumption: 85 A (130 A); anchor rotation speed: 2600 (3600) rpm.
