Measurement of Minimum Arc Current of Ag Contacts in DC Resistive and Inductive Load Conditions
Summary :
Arc occurrence rates were measured for Ag contacts in DC resistive and inductive load circuits. In inductive load conditions, arc occurrence rates in general came close to 100% at around 0.4 A, the conventional minimum arc current level of Ag. In resistive load conditions, the similar results were obtained with 30 V, while arc occurrence rates close to 50% were still obtained at around 0.4 A with 14 V and 10 V. Careful attention should be paid to the term "minimum arc current" to avoid misinterpretation thereof.
