(OP)
I am looking for a cyclone type blower that reduces the moisture in the air before it discharges into the rotor end of a 2500hp electric motor, something that passes about 400cfm at about 1" to 2" H2O positive pressure.
The type that is on their now they no longer make. The reason it needs to be moisture free is because we need it to cool down the brush end of the motor (The rotor) if anyone can help, thanks in advance.

That way, we can suck clean air without any debre and we also don't want to suck in any moisture, rain water or in this case high humidity moisture into the system because it would just blow it right into the brush ring and at 1kv on the rotor it could get ugly.

That said, make sure you don't dry the air too much! There needs to be a small amount of moisture in order for the brushes to work. brush moisture article link

Why you have to install a forced air in slip ring end? is the motor not working proper? before you install a forced air I think is better to research about why you have high temperature. You could to check spring force in the brush holders, the brush material type and to test the winding.

If you don´t have any trouble with the rotor´s motor perfomance I think is better you get contact with a AIR blowing Specialist to help you,because is not enough with all data you have, the skill technician most go to your company and then they are gonne have an analysis of all the application, including ducts and all you need.
