Reliable electrical connections are responsible for the trouble-free operation of entire systems where the load (electric stock) is roughly alternating. This circumstance makes it more complicated to identify the current state of the electrical connection during operation. During operation, the value of the transient resistance increases, as the tightening torque of the clamp dies is reduced (loosening) and the oxide films appear in sites of the wire and clamp joint. For the satisfactory condition, the value of the transient resistance should not exceed the value equal to the ohmic (linear) conductor resistance. Therefore, the aim of this work is the research study and comparison of the mathematical model to assess the state of the electrical connection under operational conditions that indirectly determines the actual value of the transient resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
