Specifies requirements for flat sided wedge shaped section in bars (straight lengths and coils) blanks and segments, suitable for the manufacture of commutators for rotating machines.

This British Standard specifies requirements for flat sided wedge-shaped copper sections in bars (straight lengths and coils), blanks and segments, suitable for the manufacture of commutators for rotating machines, in the following size ranges:

  1. thick edge thickness (T) up to 15 mm;
  2. height (H) from 6 mm to 200 mm;
  3. height to thin edge ratio (H/t) up to 50.

This standard does not cover copper for flat face commutators, commonly rectangular section strip and bar, which is covered by BS 1432 and BS 1433.

NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
