An exciting current is supplied from the AVR to the rotor.
The brushes are made of carbon, and the brush-holders of
plastic. It is necessary to keep the contact pressure between
the brushes and slip rings within specitic limits. Thus. care
must be taken about brush length.

5-2-5 VOLTMETER and PILOT LAMP
Models RGX340 and RGX21OD hav-e a voltmeter that

comes in t\vo t>-pes: 15OV maximum tppe and 3OOV maxi-
mum type. The tl-pe of voltmeter indicates generator out-
put voltages. The generators with a generated voltage of
11OV or 13OV and dual voltage type use the 15OV msimum
