The commutator of a dc machine is made of

  • A.laminated silicon steel of the same grade as the core
  • B.carbon of the same grade as the brushes that run on it
  • C.insulating material with conducting brushes upon it
  • D.hard-drawn copper segments separated by insulation

Answer: D

Correct answer: hard-drawn copper segments separated by insulation

The segments are hard-drawn copper for wear resistance and conductivity, separated by mica or a similar insulant. The mica is undercut slightly below the copper, so that as the copper wears the insulation does not stand proud and lift the brushes - a routine but essential piece of maintenance.
