Threading or grooving of a commutator surface is caused by

  • A.operation at less than the rated current
  • B.abrasive contamination or an unsuitable brush grade
  • C.excessive brush spring pressure alone
  • D.an interpole flux that is slightly too strong

Answer: B

Correct answer: abrasive contamination or an unsuitable brush grade

Grooves cut into the copper mean something abrasive is passing between brush and commutator: dust drawn in with the cooling air, or a brush grade harder than the application calls for. The remedy is to clean the air and to change the grade, since resurfacing without doing so simply repeats the damage.
