Abstract
The dc traction motor, an integral part of a diesel electric locomotive operation, depends on the commutation of current for satisfactory operation. Increasing demands for power and speed from traction motors, together with environmental conditions associated with their operation, necessitated rigid parameters for improving manufacturing techniques and materials to provide successful commutators for this service.
