Large generator turbine brush vibration

MaintenanceForums

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience or recommended reading/references on the collection of vibration data on the individual brushes on a large generator. GE recommends (mils pk-pk, at 3600rpm) that acceptable is <6, marginal 6-15, 'trouble may be imminent' >15. The data is collected with insulated probe and 100mv/g accel.

It doesn't directly address how to measure brush vibration, but probably worth reading. Maintaining carbon-brush collectors
