Abstract
THE PROPER FUNCTIONING of electric contacts is of great practical importance. Much work has been done on contacts, but comparatively little has been done on types of transient phenomena occurring in inductive d-c circuits when the circuit is broken. This oscilloscopic investigation covered the variation of transients occurring for a fixed contact pair over a range of lumped inductance and lumped capacitance values in a contact circuit. In addition, effects on the transients of varying the current and the voltage impressed on the circuit were studied.
