Earth Brush for Slip Ring
An earth brush is a type of electrical contact used in rotating machinery, specifically slip rings. It serves to provide a low-resistance path for grounding the rotating component.
The earth brush typically consists of a conductive material, such as carbon or copper, shaped into a brush that contacts the slip ring. As the slip ring rotates, the earth brush maintains electrical contact, ensuring a continuous ground connection.
