Abstract
A system and method for controlling current distribution to electrical brushes used in a dynamoelectric machine is disclosed. The approach includes using an arrangement of resistor devices electrically connected to the electrical brushes to control a distribution of a flow of the electrical current between an external source and the electrical brushes. The arrangement of the resistor devices is configured to control an amount of the flow of the electrical current that is distributed to individual brushes and/or one or more groups of brushes while the dynamoelectric machine is operating.
