The testing of electrical contacts for power engineering applications serves on the one hand the continuous quality assurance, on the other one the new and improvement development efforts for contact materials. To optimize the contact and switching performance, contact materials and device designs have to complement each other. The success of such optimizing is proven through switching tests.
The assessment of contact materials is performed using metallurgical test methods as well as switching tests in model test set-ups and in comme...
