Inspection [08/2015 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
- Check the generator rotor for an open circuit.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
FOR 130 A TYPETester Connection Condition Specified Condition Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 2.3 to 2.7 Ω FOR 150 A TYPETester Connection Condition Specified Condition Slip ring - Slip ring 20°C (68°F) 1.5 to 1.9 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Slip Ring If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Check if the generator rotor is grounded.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Slip ring - Rotor core Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Slip Ring *2 Rotor Core If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter
14.2 to 14.4 mm (0.559 to 0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter
14.0 mm (0.551 in.)
TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Diameter If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- Check that the generator rotor bearing is not rough or worn.
If necessary, replace the generator rotor assembly.
- Check the generator rotor for an open circuit.
- INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
