Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motor or electrical generator that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. In ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)
AC commutator motors, like comparable DC motors, have higher starting torque and higher speed than AC induction motors. The series motor operates well above the synchronous speed of a conventional AC motor. AC commutator motors may be either single-phase or poly-phase.

The armature has an axle, and the commutator is attached to the axle. In the diagram to the right, you can see three different views of the same armature: front, side and end-on. In the end-on view, the winding is eliminated to make the commutator more obvious. ... Introduction to How Electric Motors Work...
