IF, it's a wound rotor motor. Most ac rotors are of the squirrel cage
variety.

I was wondering about that. Wouldn't a squirrel cage motor still have
the same magnetic properties? I'm not sure, but I'd bet that such a
rotor would still pass the growler test, but it's hard to imagine a
squirrel cage rotor with a short in it, which, I believe is what the
OP asked about.

Does anyone know if this happens?
