Wedge Tightness Map – This test may take the form of either a person performing the test with a 2 ounce hammer or piece of equipment used to
mechanically evaluate if the wedge is tight. The most critical wedges to test are the last 36 inches each end of the generator. If only the last 36 inches of
each end of the slot are tested then the rest of the wedges should be visually inspected for any indications that they are loose. This test does not apply to
units with asphalt stator windings or units with the camelback wedge system.
