INSPECT SLIP RINGS

(a) Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If rough or scored, replace the rotor.
(b) Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.
Standard diameter:
4.2–14.4 mm (0.559–0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter:
12.8 mm (0.504 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the rotor.

Stator (Drive End Frame)

1.

INSPECT STATOR FOR OPEN CIRCUIT

Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
the coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the drive end frame assem-
bly.
2.

INSPECT STATOR FOR GROUND

Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the coil lead and drive end frame.
If there is continuity, replace the drive end frame assembly.
Brushes
1. INSPECT EXPOSED BRUSH LENGTH
Using a vernier caliper, measure the exposed brush length.
Standard exposed length:
10.5 mm (0.413 in.)
Minimum exposed length:
1.5 mm (0.059 in.)
If the exposed length is less than minimum, replace the
brushes and brush holder assembly.
