A dc generator whose brushes are badly worn will show

  • A.sparking at the commutator and a larger voltage drop
  • B.an increase in the emf generated by the machine
  • C.a reduction in the armature resistance of the machine
  • D.an improvement in the commutation of the armature current

Answer: A

Poor contact raises the drop and concentrates the current into a smaller area, which sparks and damages the commutator surface. Regular inspection of brush length, spring pressure and commutator condition is the main maintenance task on such a machine.
