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 .
