I may have done this wrong so I'll try again.
I am at a power utility company. This generator produces 170 m/w of power. While on a overhaul of the turbine and generator, the brushes are left intact. My question is, even if the field is grounded by a #6 wire grounding brush to the field, can static electricity still be produced to affect employees working on the generator. The current transformers have been disconnected. This is a DC produced generator. Can there be feedback as the field rotor rorated against the brushes?
