Maintenance of the Traction DC Motor
1)
For DC motors, the carbon brush should be checked every 6 months to see if there has been any
excessive wear. If it is not replaced in time before it is worn out, it will damage the motor badly.
2)
Removal of mud, sand and other clinging objects shall be done frequently to facilitate the
heat-radiation.
3)
Periodically use low pressure air to remove the dust from the carbon brush and the commutator.
Periodically check the connections of the carbon brush and the commutator.
