Some characteristics of Pd electrical contacts mounted on relays that make and break a dc 30‐v, 10‐a resistive circuit

Abstract: A description of some of the measured characteristics of palladium switching contacts mounted on miniature relays is presented. For 100,000 switching operations of Pd contacts in the dc 30‐V, 10‐A resistive circuit, we measure the duration of each closing and opening are at each switching, the contact resistance at each closure, the temperature of supporting arm nearby the stationary contact, the number of bouncing at each closure, and the number of switching actions with normal switching functions. Then we co… Show more

“…If the depth of the crater exceeds the thickness of the rivet, good contact conductivity can no longer be assured. Furthermore locking of the pip on the crater may fail to open the contacts, especially in weak opening force range [22]. On Fig.…”

“…By many iterations of switching operations, the damage to the contact surface by switching arc and the deposits of film and polymers [6,7,[9][10][11] become visible. Therefore, the average contact resistance after 100 initial switching operations that are considered to have little effect is shown in Fig.…”
