Generator Inner Parts: Rotor
- Measure the resistance between the slip rings using a tester.
- If not within the specification, replace the rotor.
Generator rotor resistance (between slip rings) [20°C {68 °F}]
1.8-2.2 ohm
- Verify that there is no continuity between the slip ring and core using a tester.
- If there is continuity, replace the rotor.
- Inspect the slip ring surface condition.
- If the slip ring surface is rough, use a lathe or fine sandpaper to smooth it.
