Problems with brushes, collector rings and brush rigging can build quietly until they lead to flashover, ring damage or a forced outage. In this webinar, Cutsforth specialists plan to show how to recognize the most common failures and trace them back to their root causes. They'll also walk through proven solutions that fix these problems, often while the unit stays online. Real field examples will show how early action leads to smarter maintenance decisions.
What you'll discover:
How to recognize common brush and collector ring failures, such as sparking, chatter, uneven wear, carbon deposits, and more
How Brush Rigging Inspections use vibration analysis and stroboscope inspection to find problems during operation
How Online Truing resurfaces collector rings without taking the generator offline
How Spiral Groove Restoration repairs ring grooves faster and can double ring life
Real field examples of failures caught early and resolved.
