Stator Assembly (1) | |
The stator assembly consists of a stator core and coils. As the rotor turns, its varying magnetic field causes the stator coil to produce three phase alternating current.

Rotor Assembly (2) | |
The rotor assembly consists of a core, coils, and slip ring assembly. The rotor assembly provides the magnetic field between the rotor field winding and the stator assembly.

Brush Assembly (3) | |
The brush assembly contains two brushes. The brushes contact the two rotating slip rings on the rotor assembly. Current flows to the rotor coil through the brushes and slip rings. There is one positive (+) and one negative (-) brush. The brush material is copper graphite.
