Function of the Brush Holder Assembly

The 0663860SRV Brush Holder Assembly is designed to:

• Hold the carbon brushes in their proper operating positions
• Maintain brush alignment against the rotating slip rings
• Support consistent spring pressure as the brushes wear
• Transfer excitation current to the alternator rotor
• Help create the magnetic field required for power generation
• Support stable and dependable electrical output
• Restore the generator’s original brush-contact functionality

Proper brush alignment and contact pressure are essential for dependable alternator excitation and generator voltage output.

Common Signs Replacement Is Needed

Replace or inspect the brush holder assembly if you notice:

• Generator engine runs but produces no electrical output
• Output voltage is low, intermittent, or unstable
• Brush holder is cracked, melted, or distorted
• Carbon brushes bind within the holder
• Brush springs are weak, broken, or damaged
• Electrical leads or terminals show heat damage
• Excessive arcing occurs at the slip rings
• Brushes wear unevenly
• Assembly will not mount securely
• Diagnostic testing confirms poor brush contact

Output problems can also result from worn brushes, damaged slip rings, loose wiring, a failed voltage regulator, or faults within the rotor or stator. Diagnose the complete generating system before replacing parts.

Installation & Service Notes

• Shut down the generator and allow it to cool completely before servicing.
• Disconnect all electrical loads and external power sources.
• Disable automatic startup according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Disconnect the starting battery, beginning with the negative cable.
• Confirm that no hazardous voltage is present before accessing the alternator.
• Label or photograph the original wiring and connector positions.
• Remove the existing brush holder without pulling directly on its wires.
• Inspect the carbon brushes, springs, terminals, and slip rings for damage.
• Clean the mounting area using the manufacturer-approved procedure.
• Install the 0663860SRV Brush Holder Assembly in the correct orientation.
• Confirm that the brushes move freely and contact the slip rings properly.
• Reconnect all wiring according to the applicable Generac wiring diagram.
• Reinstall all protective covers and guards.
• Verify generator voltage and frequency with appropriate test equipment.

Important: Brush holder assemblies may be supplied with different included components depending on the service package. Verify the product contents before ordering. Generator electrical systems may contain hazardous voltage and can start automatically, so professional installation is recommended when proper electrical service procedures are unavailable.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Inspect the brush holder during scheduled generator maintenance.
• Check carbon-brush length and condition regularly.
• Confirm that each brush moves freely within the holder.
• Keep the assembly free of carbon dust, oil, and debris.
• Inspect the slip rings for scoring, burning, and contamination.
• Investigate excessive arcing or unstable generator output promptly.
• Replace damaged springs, brushes, or holder components as required.
• Avoid contaminating the brush contact surfaces with grease.
• Use genuine OEM replacement parts to maintain proper alignment, electrical contact, and dependable generator output.
