In this study, the possibility of suppressing electrical discharges inside ball bearings was investigated by reducing the resistance between the inner and outer rings by conductive grease between the shield and additional shim plate of the bearing. As a result, it was concluded that the structure proposed in this study can suppress discharge inside the bearing. This type of conductive bearing structure is considered to be more advantageous in suppressing electrical discharges than a bearing with conductive grease sealed inside the bearing.
