Equalizer rings in D.C. generator with lap windings are used for

  • A. Equal distribution of current at brush for sparkless commutation
  • B. Prevention of harmonics
  • C. Reduction of noise and vibration
  • D. Avoiding overhang

Answer: A. Equal distribution of current at brush for sparkless commutation

Explanation: Equalizer rings connect points in a lap-wound armature that are at identical potentials, bypassing circulating currents away from the brushes and ensuring sparkless commutation.
