Charging System: Generator: Inspection

INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the exposed brush length
  Standard length:
  
  10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
  
  Minimum length:
  
  4.5 mm (0.177 in.)

  If the exposed brush length is less than the minimum, replace the generator brush holder assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
1. Inspect the generator rotor bearing
  1. When rotating the generator rotor bearing, check that the generator rotor bearing does not stuck and that there is no unusual noise If the generator rotor bearing stuck or there is unusual noise, replace the generator rotor assembly.

  1. Measure the resistance between the slip rings.
    Standard resistance:
    
    1.5 to 1.9 Ω
    
    If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the generator rotor assembly.
  2. Measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor core.

    Standard resistance:
    
    1 MΩ or more
    
    If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the generator rotor assembly.
3. Measure the diameter

1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the slip ring.
  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 generator rotor assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR BEARING
1. When rotating the generator rotor bearing, check that the generator rotor bearing does not become stuck and that there is no unusual noise If the generator rotor bearing becomes stuck or there is unusual noise, replace the generator rotor bearing.
