Contact reliability may be endangered by various types of contact contaminations as particles, corrosion products, polymers or carbon deposits.Often information about the type of contamination may be gained by easily applicable measurements of current and contact voltage only: i.e., contact resistance measurements after each operation of a routine l i e test (employing increasing voltage and current), and voltage oscillograms across opening contacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
