Types of commutators in DC machine

Click For Summary
There are two main types of commutators in DC machines: brushed and brushless. Brushed commutators rely on physical brushes to transfer current, while brushless designs use electronic controls for current switching. The type of commutator affects current density, with brushed systems typically experiencing higher wear and heat due to friction. Brushless systems generally offer improved efficiency and lower maintenance needs. Understanding these differences is crucial for optimizing performance in DC machines.

1. Types off commutator and their effect on current densit?



[b.]2I want to ask how many types of commutators are there in a DC machine and what is their effect on current density..[\b]


3.i have been working on it for a long time and came to know tht there are two types
Brushed and Brushless
guide me![\b]

thanks
