How much electrical resistance does it show from one side of the stator to the other on same tooth?
It’s hard to get a solid reading but hoping some people post what motor they have and what resistance it shows. Why manufacturers go through the trouble of making laminations but then don’t insulate them well from each other, I don’t know
All the stators I have of various sizes and 50-60mm tall show between .2 and .8 ohms. I’m trying to find out if this horrendously low resistance is typical.

Maybe this is why high voltage destroys our motors

Why u say high voltage destroys?
The low resistance of the stator results in eddy currents and heating from high frequency. It seems these motos we use aren’t nearly as insulated as ones made for industrial use

the conductor cares not what voltage runs through it
insulation does

Hoping at least a couple people try this. It’s as easy as putting a multimeter to each side of a motor.
I will try it after Easter
I was thinking about double ground fault but you can have other problems too
Edit: Greek Easter is april 12 
Easter? That was three days ago. But good to hear none the less
IDK what is going on there, but my motors test zero conductivity between sides of the stator;
maybe u haven’t gotten past the epoxy. Try digging in
It seems one aspect of performance that no one looks at and has a huge effect on performance. It’s the difference between having a block of steel that’s an induction oven or a motor.
All my stators seem to suck in relation to the standards. I bet yours sucks too
