Abstract :
Three inherent functions necessary to the commutation of a d-c machine are: field position detection, switch selection, and the switching arrangement itself. Various means of performing these functions without using conventional commutators and brushes are analyzed and compared, and an experimental machine is discussed to demonstrate the use of solid-state devices to perform the function of commutation on a d-c machine
