what is the purpose of commutator in DC motor?

Answer Posted / vinod

Actually for DC machines input was AC Voltage (alternating in nature) so the output was also absolutely in AC. So we need to give the output in DC, that's why we use COMMUTATOR as a MECHANICAL RECTIFIER.
(Simply) COMMUTATOR is used to convert AC into DC like a RECTIFIER
