An Experimental Study on Re-interpretation of Minimum Arc Current of Electrical Contact Materials
Summary :
Arc occurrence rates are measured for Ag and Pd contacts operated in a DC resistive load circuit. Based on the obtained results, it is confirmed that arc certainly occurs at current levels lower than the conventional minimum arc current value for each of the tested contact materials. Arc occurrence rate in general comes close to 100% at the conventional minimum arc current level. Accordingly, careful attention should be paid to use of the term "minimum arc current" in order to avoid misinterpretation thereof.
