  2. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    The resistance of the commutator contacts causes inefficiency in low-voltage, high-current machines such as this, requiring a huge elaborate commutator. This machine generated 7 volts at 310 amps. Although direct current motors and dynamos once dominated industry, the disadvantages of the commutator have caused a decline in the use of ...

  3. Split ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_ring

    Split-ring resonator is a unit which enhances magnetic permeability and magnetic coupling for metamaterials. Split-ring connector is a ring shaped type of timber connector that is in inserted in routed grooves between timber members in order to reduce stresses to the timbers at the connection points. Commutator (electric), also called split rings.

  4. Slip ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

    Some other names used for slip ring are collector ring, rotary electrical contact and electrical slip ring. Some people also use the term commutator; however, commutators are somewhat different and are specialized for use on DC motors and generators. While commutators are segmented, slip rings are continuous, and the terms are not interchangeable.

  5. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    In a motor, the magnitude of this Lorentz force (a vector represented by the green arrow), and thus the output torque, is a function for rotor angle, leading to a phenomenon known as torque ripple) Since this is a two-pole motor, the commutator consists of a split ring, so that the current reverses each half turn ( 180 degrees).

  6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    A DC motor is usually supplied through a split ring commutator as described above. AC motors' commutation can be achieved using either a slip ring commutator or external commutation. It can be fixed-speed or variable-speed control type, and can be synchronous or asynchronous. Universal motors can run on either AC or DC.

  7. Commutator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator

    The commutator is zero if and only if a and b commute. In linear algebra, if two endomorphisms of a space are represented by commuting matrices in terms of one basis, then they are so represented in terms of every basis. By using the commutator as a Lie bracket, every associative algebra can be turned into a Lie algebra.

  8. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  9. Brush (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_(electric)

    For certain types of electric motors or generators to function, the coils of the rotor must be connected to complete an electrical circuit. Originally this was accomplished by affixing a copper or brass commutator or 'slip ring' to the shaft, with springs pressing braided copper wire 'brushes' onto the slip rings or commutator which conduct the current.
