SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO MITIGATE ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE ON A ROTATING SHAFT IN OIL

摘要

Systems and methods to mitigate electrical voltage on a rotating shaft in an oil rich environment exposed to a viscous fluid or immersed in oil are disclosed. An example grounding brush assembly includes a plurality of conductive filaments configured to extend through the viscous medium surrounding the rotating shaft to be in electrical contact with the rotating shaft when the brush assembly is disposed proximate the shaft.
