BRUSHES FOR GENERATOR

Description

Essential components responsible for transferring electrical current between the stationary and rotating parts of the generator. These brushes, typically made of carbon or graphite materials, maintain constant contact with the commutator or slip rings of the generator’s rotor, allowing electricity to flow through the generator’s windings. By conducting electrical current, the brushes facilitate the generation of electricity as the rotor spins within the stator’s magnetic field. Over time, brushes can wear out due to friction and must be replaced to ensure optimal generator performance. Properly functioning brushes are crucial for maintaining electrical contact, preventing arcing, and minimizing wear on other generator components.
