Re: Generator Rebuild
So, I finally returned to my generator project after attempting to get it to motor. Once I took it apart, I instantly saw what was wrong. The amrature is scraping the poles, ever so slightly, but just enough to make it bind. I tried putting the armature in without the brush plate and there is more than enough clearance between the poles and the armature. As soon as I add the brush plate, it binds. Now my guess is the armature is bent. What does everyone think? Is there a way to check for straightness?
