Which service does a worn commutator require?

  • A.Cleaning only
  • B.Polishing with abrasive paper, which restores the surface and removes the grooves worn by the brushes in service
  • C.Skimming and undercutting the insulation between segments
  • D.Replacement of the armature, since a worn commutator cannot be repaired and must always be renewed complete

Answer: C

A commutator is skimmed true and the mica undercut so it does not stand proud as the copper wears. Light polishing genuinely does refresh a lightly worn surface, which makes the last option a real if limited remedy. Replacement is required when the diameter reaches its limit. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
