Why is it important to maintain a good ground connection between the slip ring and the generator chassis?
What will be an ideal response?
Improper grounding of the generator can cause create damage to bearings supporting the rotor assembly. Ground currents leaking through the bearings can create a pitted surface on the moving elements due to arching. This pitting will cause friction that creates excess heat and material erosion during operation of the generator.
