Abstract
A brush wear indicating arrangement is provided. The brush wear indicating arrangement includes an insert, a first electrically conductive brush, and a wear indicator. The insert is disposed within a brush block housing and defines a first aperture. The first electrically conductive brush is movably engaged within the first aperture. The electrically conductive brush is configured to move outward from the first aperture as a wear surface of the first electrically conductive brush wears. The wear indicator is coupled to the first electrically conductive brush. The wear indicator is configured to extend beyond a first insert face of the insert as wear condition of the wear surface of the first electrically conductive brush exceeds a wear threshold.
