AIEE Test Code for Carbon Brushes

Abstract

This Code covers electric brushes for all types of rotating alternating-current and direct-current motors and generators and similar apparatus.

Scope

The properties determined by these tests are inherent in the brush materials themselves as distinguished from performance characteristics in operation on electric equipment

Purpose

It is the purpose of this Code to provide a uniform (standard) procedure for measuring the properties of materials, properties of shunt connections, and operating characteristics, for carbon, carbon-graphite, electrographitic, graphite, and metal-graphite brushes
