On a 120v band saw motor, between the motor and the start switch is a plug and it caught fire and burnt up. I'm trying to test the switch and motor before i put another plug on and burn it up too. On the motor side I read 1 ohm from hot to neutral and no continuity from hot to ground or neutral to ground. The switch tested fine as well. I work in powder metal so maybe something got into the plug and shorted it.

What do you think?
