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.

What else can I help you with?
Is a commutator the rotating element of a motor?
The commutator is part of the armature on a DC motor and this assembly is the rotating element of a motor.
Which type of motor uses a commutator?
Commutator is a device in a motor through which supply is fed.
Which type of electrical motor is used in room clenar?
Vacuum cleaners require a high power to weight ratio in the motor and for that reason a commutator motor is used although the lifetime is relatively short for this type of motor before the brushes need replacing.
What is the use of brushes in an electric motor?
Brushes transfer electricity to the commutator which is connected to the winding on the armature. The brushes and commutator form a electrical connection that is good when the brushes are stationary and the commutator is spinning. The commutator on a DC motor is sectioned to power different windings at different times, creating moving field necessairy to pull the armature off a direct current.
How does the commutator reverse the current in a motor?
Commutator is a split ring which reverses the current .when the commutator turns around due to magnetic force and because of it even the current gets reversed
What is the definition of commutator?
A commutator is an electrical switch that periodically reverses the current direction in an electric motor or electrical generator. A commutator is a common feature of direct current rotating machines.
What is the function of the XP commutator in an electrical system?
The XP commutator in an electrical system is responsible for reversing the direction of current flow in the circuit, which helps to ensure that the motor or generator operates smoothly and efficiently.

What component of a motor changes the induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?
The commutator is the moving part of the electrical switch in motors that reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. This is applicable in electrical motors and electrical generators.
What motor does not have a commutator?
AC, its all done with coils- or electromagnets.
If a DC electric motor turns backwards is it the wiring to the commutator or the wrong commutator installed?
I had a 28 volt motor armature and field rewired,it now turns the wrong way,the technician says it has the wrong commutator installed,,and cannot find a new one.
