A holding apparatus for a slip ring unit includes at least two slots configured for receiving slip ring brushes respectively, with the at least two slots being arranged in spaced-apart relationship. A cooling duct is arranged between the at least two slots for cooling a side surface of the slip ring brushes. The cooling duct is configured as a third slot between the at least two slots, with the at least two slots and the cooling duct being of essentially identical shape and dimension.

A slipring with at least one slip ring module having at least one sliding track, and at least one wear indication track. A wear indication circuit is connected to the at least one wear indication track for monitoring electrical properties of the wear indication track and signaling an abnormal slipring condition. A wear indication track may be exposed to higher load, higher rotation speed, higher brush pressure force, or other lifetime-reducing influence as compared to a normal sliding track.
