Yes, the bearing is in perfect condition, so the contact is not from movement in the rotor. When comparing the damaged rotor to the one I replaced it with, the winding of the damaged rotor sticks out beyond the diameter of the iron core where the winding on the replacement rotor is recessed...

Yes, once I replace the rotor, the sx460 had no problem firing up once again, with no need to flash it. I think my error initially was that I quickly tested the excite winding and the 3 stator windings from the leads. You would have to remove the electronics enclosure to access the end of the...

I'm giving the award to Derf on this one. Rather than mess with a field flash circuit for the SX460 I pulled the generator apart and found this. This machine has just over 500 hours on it and the rotor winding has somehow rubbed on the stator and wore through the winding. Looking at the...

Looking for a little assistance with an SX460. I recently installed one in an MEP-016D, per this thread, fired it up and it worked perfectly. The customer used the machine for about a week and last night it stopped making power. I looked at it today and the field and Gen windings appear to be...
