What are the two reasons for arcing at the commutator?

A shorted coil or shorted coils in the rotor will cause arcing at the commutator. It should also be noted that if the brushes are damaged badly enough where they make contact with the commutator, this can cause arcing. Oh, and let's not forget that a stuck brush or brush spring will prevent a brush from making proper contact with the commutator. Arcing can result from that, too.


How commutator converts AC to DC?

There is no conversion of AC to DC a commutator is the key to creating straight DC voltage. "The commutator rotates with the loop of wire just as the slip rings do with the rotor of an AC generator. Each half of the commutator ring is called a commutator segment and is insulated from the other half. Each end of the rotating loop of wire is connected to a commutator segment. Two carbon brushes connected to the outside circuit rest against the rotating commutator. One brush conducts the current out of the generator, and the other brush feeds it in. The commutator is designed so that, no matter how the current in the loop alternates, the commutator segment containing the outward-going current is always against the "out" brush at the proper time. The armature in a large DC generator has many coils of wire and commutator segments. Because of the commutator, engineers have found it necessary to have the armature serve as the rotor(the rotating part of an apparatus) and the field structure as the stator (a stationary portion enclosing rotating parts). Which is the inverse of an AC Generator."


Basic principle of commutator motor meter?

It is based dynamometer principle with ironless motor with a wound armature having a commutator. The two coils are connected in series with supply and armature coil is connected in parallel to it.


Why is wall socket hot?

There could be two reasons. One is that the receptical is old and well used and the connected load is close to 1500 watts. Second is that the wires have become loose on the terminal screws and are arcing. In either case get the receptical replaced right away.


What is the need of commutator in DC generator?

The commutator has two functions: (1) it enables current to pass to the external fixed wiring from the rotating armature, and (2) it is a rotating rectifier, which converts the a.c. voltage generated in the rotating armature, to a d.c. voltage.


What does the commutator in an electrical motor do?

If there is a commutator, it means you are dealing with a DC motor.The commutator acts like a switch to supply voltage to a revolving armature from the stationary brush assembly.A commutator has commutator bars, each seperated by mica insulation. Each coil of the rotating armature is connected to two bars that are in directly opposite positions across each diameter of the armature.The total number of commutator bars depends on the design of the windings on the armature: either "lap" or "wave" windings can be used on a DC motor or generator which is provided with a commutator.For more information see the answer to the Related question and also the Related link shown below.
