Abstract:Plug-in connector of gas insulated bus (GIB) could be subject to the wear and electrical contact resistance (ECR) deterioration processes under cyclic mechanical and current loads. A specific test platform is designed to simulate the current-carrying wear and ECR degradation process of Ag-plated GIB electrical contact spot inside SF6, N2 and Air insulation mediums under current loads. Worn surface morphology and chemical composition are observed and analyzed. Influence of insulation medium and current load on … Show more
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.
