“…However, the test does not guarantee that low resistance values imply in good condition arcing contacts, since the measurement is made while the breaker is closed, and gives no indication of the condition of the arcing contacts, however, the wear from the arcing current is more focused on the arcing contacts, which are subjected to the heat and energy produced by the arcing during faulty opening operation [2][3][4]. To evaluate the condition of arcing contacts, an internal inspection may be required, making the breaker unavailable for a long time and demanding high maintenance costs [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. If the internal components of the breaker can be evaluated without the need for disassembly, it is possible to follow the evolution of component wear efficiently, making the maintenance process optimized [9].…”
