selector

Explanation:
O termo original deve ser "commutator".
1) Se o termo se referir ao interruptor-selector do voltímetro para mudança da escala de medida, então a tradução deverá ser "selector".
2) Se o termo "commutator" se referir ao motor, então a tradução deverá ser "comutador".
Tal como a frase é apresentada, eu iria com "selector", mas a colega saberá melhor destrinçar o contexto do original.
