  • Abstract
    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 life test (employing increasing voltage and current), and voltage oscillograms across opening contacts
