Abstract
A brush holder assembly for use in an electrical generator having a moving conductive surface may include a brush holder, such as a brush box, that is configured to be removably mounted to a mounting element on the electrical generator. A carbon brush may be slidingly disposed with the brush holder and may be biased into sliding contact with the moving conductive surface. The brush holder assembly includes a handle that is moveable between an unlocked position in which the brush holder is removable from the mounting element and a locked position in which the brush holder is secured relative to the mounting element. A circuit board is disposed within the handle and includes a sensor that provides an indication of an occurrence of an anomalous and/or threshold condition of the carbon brush.
