5-2-3 BRUSHES
~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~.
An
exciting current is supplied from the
AVR
to
the rotor.
The brushes are made
of
carbon and the brush-holders of
'
plastic. It is necessary to keep the contact pressure between
the brushes and slip rings within specific limits. Therefore,
care must be taken about brush length. (See
9-3
BRUSHES.)
5-2-4 AVR (AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR)
The automatic voltage regulator employs an electronic cir-
cuit to automatically reglate voltage.

5-2-5 VOLTMETER
The voltmeter comes in two types, a
150
V
maximum type
and a
300
V
maximum type. The voltmeter indicates gen-
erator output voltages. The generators with a generated volt-
age -of 110
V
or 120
V
use the 150
V
maximum type volt-
meter; and those
6f
220
V,
230
V,
and
240
V
specifications
and dual voltage type generators use the
300
V
maximum
type voltmeter.
