Inspection
The commutator should be inspected for
surface condition and high mica.
The commutator must be smooth and clean to
provide maximum brush wear. When
commutators are not properly maintained,
carbon dust can collect in the grooves between
the segments. This can lead to
a
short circuit in
the armature.
Good commutation will be indicated by a
dark
-
brown, polished commutator and an
evenly polished brush wearing surface.
If
the commutator appears rough, pitted, or has
signs of burning or heavy arcing between the
commutator bars, the motor should be removed
for servicing.
Terminal Nuts
Whenever you disconnect and reconnect any
power leads to a motor, always tighten the
motor cable securing nuts with a torque wrench
to prevent over
-
tightening them and damaging
the motor. Use a second wrench on the stud
