    Grounding brushes and bearings on electric motors and generators must be properly insulated or grounded depending on the classification and application. For explosion-proof Ex rated motors in hazardous locations, the non-drive end bearing cannot be grounded and must be insulated, while a ground strap is required for sleeve bearings. The type of graphite used for grounding brushes depends on the frame size of the device.
