Answers

Generator brushes are used to pick up current from a generator (a conductor rotating in a magnetic field) and supply this current to the brushes of the DC hoist motor (current carrying conductor in a magnetic field) to allow it to turn.

THE PURPUSE OF A GENERATOR BRUSH

THE PURPOSE OF THE GENERATOR BRUSH IS TO ABSORB POWER FROM THE ROTATING ARMATURE OF A GENERATOR AND SUPPLY IT TO THE STATIONARY PART OF THE GENERATOR.
