1An attachment, connected with the armature of a motor or dynamo, through which electrical connection is made and which ensures the current flows as direct current.
整流器
Example sentencesExamples
The brushes conduct electricity to the commutator.
He went on to build an electric motor in 1832 and invented the commutator, an integral part of most modern electric motors.
One of the places you need them is in modern small motors which don't have a commutator.
You can see that the commutator is simply a pair of plates attached to the axle.
It may also increase efficiency of machines as there won't be frictional effects of brushes, commutators, etc, on the motor itself.
1.1A device for reversing the direction of flow of electric current.
转换器；换向器
Example sentencesExamples
The commutator must switch current to the correct drive magnets in the correct direction at the correct time in order to produce desired rotor movement.
Note how the commutator reverses the current each time the coil turns halfway.
