Faulty Dynamo RE15
off Chassis 87RC {R. Childs}
Apart from there being a breakdown of the insulation of the control brush-holder, and the output of the machine being very high, this dynamo appears to be quite O.K.
Carbon dust was found to be bridging the insulation on the control brush-holder.
The machine was given a run on the bench, when it gave a peak of 14.4 amperes at a temperature of 80°c.
It was found to have the early C angle of 120°.
Signed: C.A.P.
This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work.
