EFFECT OF BRUSH FRICTION ON COMMUTATOR HEATING

EINFLUSS DER BUERSTENREIBUNG AUF DIE KOMMUTATORERWAERMUNG

If an older method was used, the measurement of commutator heating has only been possible during standstill after a haul with full power. It has been established by a new measuring method with an infrared radiation pyrometer, allowing measuring during train haul, that commutators can warm up considerably even without current with a higher rate of rpm. These and other measurements of friction are of importance in the design process.
