Grounding Device For Electric Machine And Methods Of Assembling The Same

A grounding device for an electric machine, having a rotating component and a stationary component, includes a core fabricated from a non-conductive material and a plurality of conductive fibers coupled to the core and extending therefrom. The plurality of conductive fibers are configured to electrically couple the rotating component with the stationary component such that an electrostatic charge on the rotating component is directed through the plurality of conductive fibers to the stationary component. 种用于具有旋转部件和静止部件的电机的接地设备，包括由非导电材料制造的芯部以及连接至芯部并从其延伸的多个导电纤维。多个导电纤维被构造为将旋转部件电连接至静止部件，以使旋转部件上的静电电荷通过多个导电纤维流向静止部件。
