1) Field coil
Remove the brush holder and measure
resistance between the slip rings .
NOTE : If the circuit tester is not sufficiently accurate, it may not show the values given and may
give erroneous readings.
Erroneous reading will also occur when there is a wide variation of resistance among coil
windings or when measurement is performed at ambient temperatures different from from
20°C (68°F).

2) Cleaning Slip rings
The slip ring surfaces must be uniformly
bright . Slip rings showing black spots,
excessive wear, or uneven wear must be
repaired . A stained slip ring lowers generator
efficiency and output voltage . Polish the
slip rings with fine sandpaper while turning
the rotor until rough spots disappear . Care
should be taken not to touch the rotor coils
with the sandpaper .
