The heart of the screw air compressor is the twin-screw element, which consists of two interlocking helical rotors that compress the air. These rotors are housed within a casing, creating a tight seal to prevent air leakage. The drive system powers and regulates the rotation of the rotors.
[pdf] Try to turn the compressor by hand. It should be possible to turn it around. It should turn around smoothly, without any ‘hiccups’ (be sure to completely shut down the air compressor!). Check the isolation of the motor winding.

Should be in the mage-ohms (you need an isolation tester / high voltage ohm meter for this). Check the voltage when the compressor is running.
