The chief maintenance requirement of a dc motor is

  • A.inspection of brushes and commutator
  • B.replacement of the field winding at intervals
  • C.rebalancing of the armature every few months
  • D.replacement of the bearings after every start

Answer: A

Correct answer: inspection of brushes and commutator

The sliding contact is the one part of a dc machine that wears in normal service, so brush length, spring pressure, bedding and commutator surface are checked routinely and brushes replaced as they wear down. Windings and bearings need attention on the same schedule as any other machine. It is this recurring brush maintenance that has driven dc drives out of most new installations.
