2.4. Brush and Commutator
The brushes and commutator should be inspected for even
wear and good commutation.
Good Commutation:
A dark uniform coloring pattern at the
brush wearing surface.
Poor Commutation:
The surface of the commutator
appearing rough, pitted, scored, or showing signs of burning
or heavy arcing between bars. The color pattern will be:
Streaky film with commutator wear.
Bar edge burning.
Uneven film.
Carbon dust bridging between bars.
Brushes should be inspected for uneven wear and signs of
overheating, i.e.:
Discolored brush shunts.
Discolored brush springs.
2.5. Armature
1. Check security of fan.
2. Check for loose commutator bars. Loose commutator
bars will usually be indicated by excessive wear or
burning on one bar. The commutator can be checked
for loose bars by lightly tapping all of the bars with the
handle of a plastic or wooden handled screwdriver. A
contrasting dull thud or vibration will indicate a loose
bar. Replace the armature if any commutator bar is
loose.
3. Check for grounded circuits using a test light. Most
commercial growlers incorporate a test light as shown
in illustration below.
Check armature for grounded circuits by placing one
test lead of the test lamp on the commutator and the
other test lead on the armature shaft. If the test light
lights, the armature is grounded.
4. Standard Winding Armatures are tested on a growler
