The most suitable method to measure the resistance of the series field winding of a DC series motor is the Kelvin double bridge method.

Kelvin Double Bridge

  • The series field winding of a DC motor has low resistance, typically in the milliohm range.
  • The Kelvin double bridge is specifically designed to measure low resistances accurately.
