Commutation principle<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\nIn DC motors, the commutation principle is a key part of the work of the carbon brush. When the motor armature rotates, the direction of the current in the armature winding needs to be constantly changed to ensure the continuous rotation of the motor. The combination of carbon brush and commutator achieves this process. The commutator consists of a plurality of insulated commutators. As the armature rotates, the carbon brush touches the different commutators in turn. When the carbon brush slides from one commutator to another commutator, it will change the direction of the current in the armature winding.<\/p>\n

Electromagnetic induction and energy conversion <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\nWhen the current enters the armature winding (or rotor winding) through the carbon brush, the electromagnetic force will be generated in the winding under the action of the magnetic field. And this electromagnetic force will drive the rotor of the motor to rotate. So as to achieve the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy. At the same time, during the motor rotation process, the armature winding (or rotor winding) will cut the magnetic field line. And according to the law of electromagnetic induction, the induced electromotive force will be generated. The direction of this induced electromotive force is opposite to the direction of the applied supply voltage. And it is called the back electromotive force. The back electromotive force is fed back to the power supply through the carbon brush to complete a complete energy conversion and transfer process.<\/p>\n
