Electric and hybrid vehicle repairs are entering every Australian workshop, but diagnosing motor-generator unit failures remains expensive guesswork. OEM diagnostics point to fault codes without confirming whether the issue sits in the MGU, power inverter module, or elsewhere in the drivetrain. Misdiagnosis means wasted hours and parts bills running into thousands—with no guarantee you’ve fixed the actual problem. Meanwhile, customers expect faster turnaround than traditional mechanical repairs, and MGU replacement costs demand absolute certainty before committing to the repair.

You need definitive answers on motor health without tearing down the entire drivetrain or sending vehicles out for specialist diagnosis.

Your Complete EV Motor Diagnostic Solution

The ALL-TEST PRO 34 EV transforms how Australian workshops handle electric vehicle motor diagnostics. This purpose-built tester is the only handheld instrument specifically engineered for permanent magnet motors and generators in hybrid and electric vehicles—giving you comprehensive motor health analysis in under three minutes.

Unlike improvised testing methods or generic motor testers, the 34 EV evaluates every critical component: stator windings, rotor magnets, contamination levels, ground faults, and connection integrity. You’re testing the complete electrical circuit of the MGU without rotating the motor, energizing high-voltage systems, or disconnecting the drivetrain. That means diagnosis happens safely in your service bay with the HV system disabled—no road testing, no complex teardown, just clear answers on motor condition.

The patented Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA) technology performs deenergized testing that reveals developing faults long before catastrophic failure. You’re catching winding deterioration, rotor magnet degradation, and contamination issues at stages where they’re still repairable—or confirming with confidence that an MGU has reached end-of-life and requires replacement.

How It Delivers Results Australian Workshops Need

Static Testing for Baseline Motor Health The static test measures five critical parameters: resistance, inductance, impedance, capacitance, and phase angle across all three phases. These measurements feed into the proprietary Test Value Static (TVS) algorithm—a single numerical indicator of overall motor health. You compare this TVS value against baseline data (either from previous tests or reference values for that vehicle model) to instantly spot drift from normal operating condition. Changes in TVS flag developing problems in stator windings or rotor magnets before they show up as performance issues or trigger fault codes.

Static testing requires zero rotor movement, which means you’re diagnosing motors that are locked, seized, or mechanically disconnected—situations where traditional testing methods fail completely.

Dynamic Testing for Detailed Fault Analysis When static results indicate potential issues—or when establishing initial baselines—the dynamic test provides deeper diagnostic insight. By manually rotating the motor shaft through its range, the 34 EV captures real-time measurements that reveal specific fault signatures. The instrument analyzes this data and delivers clear Pass/Warning/Fail indicators for resistance balance, stator condition, rotor integrity, and contamination levels.

Dynamic testing identifies which specific component is degrading, so you’re not replacing entire assemblies when a targeted repair might solve the problem. For incoming used EVs or post-repair verification, dynamic tests confirm motor condition before customer handover.

Insulation Testing That Matters Integrated megohmmeter functionality tests insulation resistance at both 500V and 1000V, reading up to 999 megohms. This catches ground fault development and insulation breakdown that compromise motor safety and performance—critical for high-voltage systems where insulation failure can be catastrophic. You’re conducting proper dielectric testing without carrying separate megohmmeters or risking equipment that wasn’t designed for EV voltage levels.

Built for Real Workshop Conditions

The 34 EV handles the reality of Australian automotive work. The rugged handheld design fits in your toolbox and survives the knocks of daily workshop life. The full-colour touchscreen remains readable in bright workshop lighting and guides you through testing with on-screen step-by-step instructions—no hunting through manuals or memorizing complex procedures.

Battery power means you’re testing vehicles anywhere in the workshop or out in customers’ driveways without hunting for power points. The intuitive interface gets new technicians conducting accurate tests within minutes, while experienced diagnostic techs appreciate the depth of data available for complex fault analysis.

Results display instantly on a single screen with clear health indicators. You’re showing customers exactly what’s wrong with their MGU using concrete test data rather than educated guesses based on fault codes. That transparency builds trust and justifies repair costs when customers understand they’re replacing genuinely failed components.

Applications Across Your EV Service Work

Pre-Purchase Inspections Used EV buyers increasingly request independent motor health verification before committing to purchase. The 34 EV delivers objective motor condition assessment that protects buyers from expensive surprises—and positions your workshop as the go-to facility for comprehensive EV pre-purchase inspections. Test the MGU health in minutes and provide documented evidence of motor condition.

Fault Diagnosis & Repair Verification When hybrid or EV customers arrive with reduced power, unusual noises, or performance issues, you need to isolate whether the problem originates in the motor, inverter, or elsewhere. The 34 EV definitively confirms motor health or identifies specific faults—ending the expensive trial-and-error of replacing components until symptoms resolve. Post-repair testing verifies that replacement MGUs or rebuilt motors meet specification before reinstallation.

Fleet Preventative Maintenance Fleet operators managing hybrid or electric vehicles need predictive maintenance programs that prevent roadside failures. Regular 34 EV testing establishes trending data for each vehicle’s MGU, flagging developing issues during scheduled services rather than after breakdown. You’re offering fleet customers genuine condition-based maintenance rather than time-based replacement guesswork.

Workshop Equipment & Tool Testing Automotive training facilities and technical colleges teaching EV technology need reliable diagnostic equipment that trains students on industry-standard testing methods. The 34 EV’s guided interface and comprehensive testing capabilities make it ideal for educational environments while delivering professional-grade results.

Technical Capabilities for Australian Conditions

Tests three-phase permanent magnet motors and generators in vehicles under 1000V—covering virtually every hybrid and EV entering Australian workshops from Prius to Tesla. The instrument handles extreme ambient temperatures found in Australian service bays without requiring climate control or special storage.

The patented TVS technology eliminates rotor position dependency, meaning you get accurate results regardless of where the motor sits in its rotation—critical when testing motors that won’t rotate freely or are mechanically locked. This makes the 34 EV uniquely capable of diagnosing motors that other methods can’t test at all.

Optional PC software extends capabilities for workshops managing multiple test records, generating customer reports, or conducting detailed analysis of motor trends over time. The software imports test data for archiving, comparison, and professional documentation that supports warranty claims or insurance assessments.

About Winding Faults

Winding defects can occur due to insulation age, contamination, power surges, thermal overload, damaged wire/materials, vibration and other causes. They begin as energy crossing an insulation fault (such as moisture or contamination), which isolates at least one turn. This generates additional stress and heat across the defect, which progresses until an arc is drawn and the winding fails.

There are four basic types of winding faults.

• Between turns in a coil
• Between coils in a phase
• Between coils in different phases
• Between a coil or phase and ground

Only about 5% of electrical faults begin as a fault to ground. The other three fault types may or may not propagate into a ground fault as the failure becomes advanced. The short term result of these faults is reduced efficiency and higher operating costs.

Symptoms include:

• Higher operating temperatures
• Possible nuisance tripping
• Reduced motor life

As faults advance, power and torque may decrease. However, the longer-term result is always motor failure.

Testing Options

Megohm insulation testing will only detect faults to ground. The majority of faults will go undetected using this method alone.

Surge testing requires the application of high voltages and currents, which can be destructive and actually generate faults. This aspect combined with the size of surge testing equipment makes it inappropriate for troubleshooting and predictive maintenance testing.

In addition, resistance and inductance-only (RLC) test methods don’t provide enough information for reliable fault detection and troubleshooting.

The ALL-TEST PRO® MOTOR GENIE® is your best, most economical choice for fault detection and troubleshooting.
