The brushes must be smooth where they
contact the slip rings. If not, polish smooth the
brushes with sandpaper.
A brush that is not smooth produces arcs
between the brush and slip ring leading to
possible damage. Usable brush lengths are
from 7 mm to 11 mm.
A brush shorter than 7 mm must be replaced
because decreased contact pressure between
the brush and slip ring lowers generator
efficiency and output voltage.
