    The exciter shaft is more of an eccentric than a shaft.

      They are designed to be so that the brushes don’t stay static and get stuck from dirt build up.

    I see that the brushes are tracking the slip rings but is being off-center that much acceptable?

    would have been pretty cool to make a long thermal video of the first spinup, then again as it's put into service, just to see how things heat up and reach a steady state under normal ops.

  • @kainhall
    @kainhall 3 месяца назад +1

    so...is the shaft bent??
    does it "straighten up" with more speed (like the bearings require a specific speed to "center up"??)
    .
    or is it just old... and you are gonna let her wobble?

    • @jamescoffey4891
      @jamescoffey4891 3 месяца назад
