TM 5-4320-300-145-5. ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY (CONT)Location/ItemActionRemarks8. Stator andInspect for gouged or discolored windings. Dis-rotorcoloration of winding insulation indicates anoverheated stator or rotor that may result inshorted or grounded windings.9. Rotor slipInspect for cracks, wear grooves, or otherringsdamage. You can restore a smooth surface tothe slip rings with fine crocus cloth (FederalSpecification P-C-458). Wipe all residue fromslip rings.10. Rotor shaftInspect shaft for stripped threads, cracks, wear,and bodyor other damage. Inspect body for cracked ormarred pole fingers. Replace rotor if damaged.11. All other parts Inspect for cracks, distortion, or damagedthreads. Replace damaged parts.TEST12. Rotor Set multimeter to resistance scale,touch probes together, and adjustOHMS ADJUST for zero resistance.Place a probe on each slip ring. Areading of zero resistance indicatesa short circuit in rotor winding. Ifwinding has a short circuit, replacerotor. A reading of infinite resist-ance indicates an open circuit inrotor winding. If winding has anopen circuit, replace rotor. Placeone test probe on one of the sliprings and the other probe on arotor pole finger. The multimetershould indicate infinite resistance.If anything less than infinite re-sistance is indicated, replace rotor.13. Bridge recti-Test the diodes with a multimeter.fier diodes5-11
