It has static charges. Or it may be combustible, that's why it spark and went to flame.
Excessive sparking at the brushes in a DC motor can be caused by several factors, including improper alignment of the brushes, worn or damaged brushes, and uneven commutator surfaces. Additionally, excessive load on the motor, incorrect brush material, or insufficient brush pressure can also lead to increased sparking. In some cases, electrical issues such as arcing due to high voltage or a short circuit can exacerbate the problem. Addressing these issues typically involves inspecting and maintaining the brushes and commutator.
To avoid sparking they need to be placed at zero point
they should possess low inductance as the sparking will be less during the time of opening
"Induction" motors imply AC power Most AC motors do not have brushes or commutator If your motor does have brushes, a lot of sparking where the brushes meet the comutator is a good indication that it needs to be cleaned and/or "cutdown". If your motor does not have brushes, then you have more serious trouble. Need more details
Two primary causes of electrical issues related to brushes in motors are mechanical wear and poor electrical contact. Mechanical wear occurs as brushes make contact with the commutator, leading to a loss of efficiency and potential overheating. Poor electrical contact can result from dirt, debris, or improper alignment, which may cause arcing and increased resistance, ultimately affecting the motor's performance. Regular maintenance is essential to mitigate these issues.

To overcome the sparking at brushes.
Sparking at the brushes of a universal motor can be caused by several factors, including worn or damaged brushes, improper brush alignment, or inadequate brush pressure against the commutator. Additionally, dirt or debris on the commutator surface can lead to poor electrical contact, resulting in arcing. Excessive load on the motor or improper voltage supply may also contribute to increased sparking. Regular maintenance and inspection can help mitigate these issues.

ring is dirty or brushes arent seated
to avoid sparking ,since their is no e.m.f induced in magnetic neutral axis.
Reactive sparking in a generator refers to the phenomenon where sparking occurs at the brushes and commutator due to improper commutation, often caused by reactive power fluctuations. This can lead to increased wear on the brushes and commutator, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to the generator. It typically occurs when the load is inductive or when there is a mismatch between the generator's output and the load characteristics. Proper maintenance and adjustments can help mitigate this issue.

A bad belt, a bad regulator in the alternator or bad brushes in the alternator.
brush friction, poor ventillation, excessive sparking caused by high voltage
A huge sparking on the pole can make an electricity meter run fast if it causes a surge in electrical current. The meter monitors the amount of electricity flowing into the home which is regulated by items in the home itself.
