(a) Check the rotor for an open circuit.

(1) Measure the resistance between the slip rings.

Standard resistance:

2.3 to 2.7 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

If the result is not as specified, replace the rotor assembly.

(b) Check if the rotor is grounded.

(1) Measure the resistance between the slip ring and rotor.

Standard resistance:

10 kΩ or higher

If the result is not as specified, replace the rotor assembly.

(d) 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.)

If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the rotor assembly.

2. INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY

(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the exposed brush length.

Standard exposed length:

10.5 mm (0.413 in.)

Minimum exposed length:

4.5 mm (0.177 in.)

If the exposed length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.

(a) Check that the bearing is not rough or worn.

If necessary, replace the bearing.
