what is the function of commutator in dc motor?

Answer Posted / anbuselvan.g

Motor is always convert Electrical power into Mechanical Power.

Here in DC motor, we just give AC supply as Electrical
Power, the Commutator will convert or rectify the AC into DC
to its windings.

It is also called as Rotating Rectifier.

The same function happen in DC generator which convert
Induced AC power in Armature into DC power to their loads.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side

As we use capacitior bank in 3ph ckt for improvement of PF, why not we use capacitor in single phase domestric use, at our house their are many inductive equipments,like fan,mixer,tube choke,air conditioner they also draw PF... by using capacitor can they improve PF. if yes--what are advantage and how to connect a capactor in single ph,and which type of capacitor if no- what are disadvantages.
