Question 56Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is D) Cleaning of windings should be performed on a conditional basis using a vacuum or using a clean, dry, lint-free rag. This is the correct answer because cleaning of brushless generator windings should be done on an as-needed basis, using gentle methods to avoid damage. High-pressure air (option A) can damage the windings, and hot soapy water (option B) can introduce moisture, which is harmful to the generator. Cleaning should not be done on a fixed schedule regardless of the condition (option C), as that could lead to unnecessary wear and tear. The proper approach is to inspect the windings periodically and clean them only if there is visible dust or grime buildup, using a vacuum or a clean, dry, lint-free rag (option D). This helps maintain the generator's efficiency and lifespan without subjecting it to unnecessary cleaning procedures.
