Any generator component that can fail or be dislodged—including rotor fan blades (Figure 7), balance weights, slot wedges (Figure 8), bolts, and pantleg washers—should be inspected regularly.

The outer rim of the generator rotor is connected to the blade support structure, providing the means of transferring torque between the turbine rotor and the generator.

Retaining rings which restrain coils, insulation and blocking near the end turns of a generator rotor should be replaced to prevent a possible catastrophic generator failure.
