This standard BS EN IEC 60276:2019 Carbon brushes, brush holders, commutators and slip-rings. Definitions and nomenclature is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.040.29 Electrical engineering (Vocabularies)
• 29.100.20 Electric and electromechanical components

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.
