any DC motor or generator will need to have a commutator. A
commutator is a device used to change the direction of
current flow through the motor. The reason a cummutator is
needed is because a DC current in a magnetic field can only
turn the motor through 180 degrees, after which the force
will cause the motor to return to a fixed position. In order
to make the force turn the motor the current needs to be
changed every 180 degrees so that the force will act in the
opposite direction, spinning the motor around. This is
achieved using a commutator. The commutator is normally a
device which brushes against terminals in the motor. As the
motor turns the terminals in contact with the brushes
change, and so does the current.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have one questions we have three steam turbines and one Gas turbine and our industry linked with the public network, we have protection system one of the protection is reverse power we can export just four MW only i would like to ask about how to calculate the reverse power. Thank you in advance best regards
I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)

in our all power plant have connected in grid and grid voltage and plant voltage is same, but as per as electrical concept the power will transmit from high potential to low potential but here altough same,then how power transmit from power plant to grid.
