  Standard length
  
  10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
  
  Minimum length
  
  4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
  
  If the exposed length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.

INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY

Check that the rotor bearing is not rough or worn.

If necessary, replace the rotor bearing.

Check the rotor for an open circuit.

Fig 4: Measuring Resistance Between Slip Rings

GTY120758

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip rings.

Standard resistance

Condition	Specified condition
Approx. 20°C (68°F)	1.5 to 1.9 Ω

If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the rotor assembly.

Check the rotor for a short to ground.

Fig 5: Measuring Resistance Between Slip Ring And Rotor

GTY120760

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor.

Standard resistance

Tester condition	Specified condition
Slip ring - Rotor	1 MΩ or higher

If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the rotor assembly.

Using vernier calipers, measure the slip ring diameter.

Standard diameter

14.2 to 14.4 mm (0.559 to 0.567 in.)

Minimum diameter

14.0 mm (0.551 in.)

If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor assembly.

INSPECT GENERATOR DRIVE END FRAME BEARING
1. Check that the drive end frame bearing is not rough or worn.
