The main applications for Ag/C materials are protective switching devices such as miniature molded case circuit breakers, motor-protective circuit breakers, and fault current circuit breakers, where during short circuit failures, highest resistance against welding is required <xr id="tab:tab2.34"/><!--(Table 2.34)-->. For higher currents the low arc erosion resistance of Ag/C is compensated by asymmetrical pairing with more erosion resistant materials such as Ag/Ni, Ag/W and Ag/WC.
