Abstract
Single-phase AC commutator machines are nowadays mostly used in (small) household machines, such as coffee grinders, mixers, or vacuum cleaners. Larger AC commutator machines also used to be applied in traction, for example in trains, but are now replaced by inverter-fed rotating field machines. In this chapter we review the basic properties of these single-phase AC commutator machines.
