Total Carbon Brush (Small)

TOTAL Carbon Brush – Replacement Motor Brushes for Angle Grinders, Drills, Saws, and Generators in Ghana

TOTAL Carbon Brushes are essential high-wear replacement components used in electric motors for tools such as angle grinders (750W–1010W), drills, saws, and generators. Made from carbon-graphite for reliable electrical conductivity, they are typically sold in pairs and ensure efficient power transmission from the stationary wiring to the motor’s rotating rotor.

Primary Use: Restore Motor Power and Maintain Tool Performance

If your power tool is experiencing reduced power output, intermittent operation, or visible sparking during use, the most common cause is worn-out motor brushes. TOTAL Carbon Brushes are designed to restore normal electrical contact inside the motor, allowing your equipment to run efficiently and safely again.

They are used in:

• Angle grinders
• Electric drills
• Circular saws
• Portable generators
• Other electric motor-driven tools

What is a TOTAL Carbon Brush?

A carbon brush is a conductive component inside electric motors that transfers electrical current from the fixed wiring to the rotating armature (rotor). In power tools, this process is necessary for generating the mechanical motion that drives cutting, drilling, grinding, or sawing operations.

TOTAL Carbon Brushes:

• Maintain continuous electrical contact
• Reduce electrical resistance
• Support motor rotation
• Minimize electrical arcing
• Improve tool lifespan

Material Composition: Carbon-Graphite Construction

TOTAL Carbon Brushes are manufactured from high-quality graphite and carbon materials that provide:

• Excellent electrical conductivity
• Self-lubricating properties
• Low friction operation
• Reduced motor wear
• Improved heat resistance

Carbon-graphite materials are widely used in electric motor brushes because they:

• Conduct electricity efficiently
• Prevent excessive friction
• Reduce internal motor damage
• Extend motor service life

Common Applications in TOTAL Power Tools

TOTAL Carbon Brushes are commonly used in:

Angle Grinders

• Compatible with models such as TG1302306-SP-38
• Suitable for 750W to 1010W angle grinders
• Maintains smooth grinding performance

Electric Drills

• Supports continuous drilling operation
• Maintains consistent torque delivery

Electric Saws

• Ensures stable cutting speed
• Prevents motor interruption

Portable Generators

• Maintains efficient motor rotation
• Reduces electrical sparking

Available Brush Dimensions

TOTAL Carbon Brushes are manufactured in various sizes to match specific motor requirements.

750W / 900W Models

• Approximate size: designed for medium-duty electric motors

1010W Models

• Approximate size: designed for higher-capacity motors

Alternative Sizes

• Some TOTAL tool models may use different brush dimensions depending on motor configuration

Always match the replacement brush size to your original tool specification for optimal performance.

Structural Features

Each TOTAL Carbon Brush set is typically equipped with:

• Metal connecting wires
• Compression springs
• Graphite brush blocks

These components:

• Enable easy installation
• Maintain proper pressure on the commutator
• Ensure consistent electrical contact
• Reduce vibration during operation

Signs That Replacement is Required

Carbon brushes are wear components and must be replaced periodically.

Replace your TOTAL Carbon Brush when:

• Tool power is reduced
• Motor operates intermittently
• Visible sparking occurs
• Grinding or drilling speed drops
• Tool stops during operation

Maintenance and Inspection Guidelines

Regular inspection of motor brushes helps prevent tool failure.

Check for:

• Excessive brush wear
• Broken graphite blocks
• Damaged wires
• Discolored springs

Rainbow-like discoloration on the spring often indicates overheating and the need for replacement.

Compatibility

TOTAL Carbon Brushes are:

• Designed for specific TOTAL tool models
• Often compatible with equivalent power tools
• Suitable for various electric motor-driven equipment

Ensure compatibility with:

Motor configuration

Tool wattage rating

Brush holder size

Electrical, industrial, and construction cable management applications across Ghana.

Installation Procedure

Replacing TOTAL Carbon Brushes is straightforward.

1. Disconnect the tool from power supply
2. Remove the brush holder cap
3. Take out the worn brush pair
4. Insert the new TOTAL Carbon Brush
5. Connect the wire properly
6. Reassemble and test

Always replace both brushes simultaneously for balanced motor performance.
