6.4.2 Contact Physics – Formulas
- Constriction resistance
 
(Single spot contact according to Holm; circular touching spot between clean contact surfaces)
(Multi-spot contact according to Holm without influence between the N individual spots)
(Multi-spot contact according to Greenwood considering the influence between the spots)
- Contact resistance
 
- Path resistance
 
- Contact resistance and contact force
 
(According to Holm model for film-free spherical contact surfaces with plastic deformation of the contact material; Fk < 1 N for typical contact materials)
(According to Holm model for film-free spherical contact surfaces with plastic deformation of the contact material; Fk > 5 N for typical contact materials)
- Dynamic contact separation (without considering magnetic fields caused by the current path)
 
(Rule of thumb with FA in N and l in kA)
- Contact voltage and max. contact temperature
 
- Contact resistance at higher contact forces (according to Babikow)
 
For FK between 10 and 200 N
c = material dependent proportionality factor
m = shape dependent exponent of the contact force
| Material combination | c | 
|---|---|
| Copper - Copper | (0.08 bis 0.14) x 10-3 | 
| Aluminum - Aluminum | (3 bis 6,7) x 10-3 | 
| Brass - Brass | 0.67 x 10-3 | 
| Steel – Silver | 0.06 x 10-3 | 
| Steel – Copper | 3.1 x 10-3 | 
| Steel – Brass | 3.0 x 10-3 | 
| Contact shapes | m | 
|---|---|
| Flat – Flat | 1 | 
| Pyramid – Flat | 0.5 | 
| Sphere – Flat | 0.6 | 
| Sphere – Sphere | 0.5 | 
| Multi-strand brush - Flat | 1 | 
| Current bar (Busbar) contact | 0.5 - 0.7 |
