Ag/SnO2 Contact Materials for Contactor Applications and Their Interaction with the Contactor Design

摘要：

The use of contact materials with reduced silver content and the smaller sizes of devices impact the interaction of contact material and contactor. An additional effect has the reduction in the volume of contact material and lower contact forces, due to energy saving by less power consumption of the driving coil. This paper presents the influence of the metal-oxide content on the contact and switching behavior of Ag/SnO2 materials in different contactor designs with the main focus on temperature rise. AC3 and AC4 tests according to IEC standards show the interaction between contact material and contactors as well as the effect of different switching conditions/loads on temperature rise.
