How will be the therml conductivity and melting pointin Electrical contact materials used in switches brushes and relays must possess
Electrical contact materials used in switches brushes and relays must possess high thermal conductivity and high melting point.High thermal conductivity dissipates heat effectively and high melting point is to avoid fusing in case of accidental overheating.
they should possess low inductance as the sparking will be less during the time of opening
Carbon, due to it's high melting point.
Carbon in the form of graphite is used as an electrical conductor (the brushes in electric motors)
The carbon allotrope we call diamond has the highest thermal (heat) conductivity of any material. It is far better an any metal (or anything else we know of) at allowing heat to pass through it. It is carbon (in its graphite allotrope) that has the highest electrical conductivity under normal conditions of any of the nonmetals. Any metal is a better electrical conductor, but carbon is good enough to make brushes for electrical motors out of. You'll recall that the brushes complete the electrical circuit between the wiring of the non-moving elements to the rotating commutator.
The brushes of a generator are essential components that facilitate the transfer of electrical current between the stationary and rotating parts of the machine. They make contact with the rotating commutator or slip rings, allowing for the collection of generated electricity from the rotor. The brushes also help maintain electrical conductivity and are crucial for the generator's overall efficiency and performance. Regular maintenance of the brushes is important to ensure optimal operation and to prevent wear and tear.
Synthetic Brushes
yes
Paint brushes are typically made using materials such as bristles, which can come from animal hair or synthetic fibers, and a handle made of wood or plastic.
Hair brushes are made from different types of materials such as bristle or vegetable fibers for natural brushes. Wire brushes have metallic filament fiber strands and synthetic brushes use nylon.
Mac cosmetics work best with Camel hair or squirrel hair brushes which are naturally springy and have good retention of makeup materials and powders that they make.
Clothes brushes were originally made of a low nap velvet material. Today's clothes brushes are made from a verity of synthetically similar materials.
