A method for testing motors having separate run and start windings to verify correct motor size and to detect miswiring of the motor windings comprises the steps of measuring the start winding resistance, measuring the run winding resistance, calculating a ratio of the start winding and run winding resistances and comparing the calculated ratio to a predetermined range representative of the desired motor size when correctly wired and rejecting the motor if the calculated ratio does not come within this predetermined range, and apparatus for same.
