Carbon brushes, brush holders, commutators and slip-rings - Definitions and nomenclature (IEC 60276:2018)
This document applies to carbon brushes for electrical machinery. For the present, it applies only to carbon brushes for commutators and slip-rings in rotating machines. Terms and definitions are relative to the brush construction (references 100’s to 500’s and parts of 900’s) and to the markings when operating on a rotating machine (references 600’s to 800’s). By extension, terms and definitions may be relevant for any kind of sliding electrical contacts for electrical machinery.

CARBON BRUSHES, BRUSH HOLDERS, COMMUTATORS
AND SLIP-RINGS – DEFINITIONS AND NOMENCLATURE
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60276 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2: Rotating
machinery.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, issued in 1968 and its
Amendment 1, issued in 1987. It constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– Some nomenclature has been deleted or added, whereas remaining definitions have been
detailed and clarified, to reflect the technical evolution since 1987.
– Additional definitions have been included to address the request for reviewing this
standard, in particular nomenclature of commutator/slip-rings markings, brush markings
and commutation sparks codes.

CARBON BRUSHES, BRUSH HOLDERS, COMMUTATORS
AND SLIP-RINGS – DEFINITIONS AND NOMENCLATURE
1 Scope
This document applies to carbon brushes for electrical machinery. For the present, it applies
only to carbon brushes for commutators and slip-rings in rotating machines.
Terms and definitions are relative to the brush construction (references 100’s to 500’s and
parts of 900’s) and to the markings when operating on a rotating machine (references 600’s to
800’s).
By extension, terms and definitions may be relevant for any kind of sliding electrical contacts
for electrical machinery.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition
cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including
any amendments) applies.
IEC 60136, Dimensions of brushes and brush-holders for electrical machinery
IEC 60773, Test methods and apparatus for measurement of the operational characteristics of
brushes
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
NOTE Brushes are classified according to the class of grade used, as follows.
3.1
grade
brush material used for the brush body, defined by its composition and its physical properties
3.2
carbon
consists of various forms of amorphous carbon, generally made of a mixture of
carbonaceous powders agglomerated with a binder, moulded and baked at suitable
temperature to carbonize the binder
Note 1 to entry: Also named hard carbon (or plain carbon).
Note 2 to entry: The material can contain additives and can be impregnated with oils, wax or resin. This material
contains principally carbon, because it is not graphitized during baking operation.
