In this paper, the impact of surface morphology of contacts, in particular different
microstructural parameters like size and distribution of contact ingredients, on contact …

For higher voltages (say Uc in the range 100-1000 V) the design of the switch again must
ensure the development of a high UA> Uc. This usually cannot be achieved by just opening …

Spark gaps are often used to commute energy in the discharge of a capacitive storage to a
load. In some applications, a unipolar pulse is not feasible, and an oscillatory (underdamped …

High-current high-voltage closing switches are the key components of pulsed power
systems based on high-energy capacitor banks. Spark-gap switches are the most used …

The paper presents a method for testing transport of composite contacts materials under
electrical arc conditions at high currents and for polarized electrodes. Tests and the …

W pracy przedstawiono analizę i syntezę dotychczasowej wiedzy dotyczącej erozji styków
współczesnych łączników energoelektrycznych niskiego napięcia w szerokim zakresie …

The numerical solution of a one-dimensional, three-phase Stefan problem with a low Stefan
number is presented. Joule heating and thermal radiation are demonstrated to be negligible …

In recent years, the prognostic and health management (PHM) technology has been
effectively developed as a key technology for the intelligent development of power grids. The …

The paper presents descriptions of bridge disintegration types and contact mass loss in the
bridge stage. There is presented Matlab solvers to solve equation describing dynamic …
