Verification of the boundaries of the applicability of the holm approximation for the calculation of the resistance of electric contacts
This paper presents the computation results for the passage of a current through electrodes of various shapes. In particular, cylindrically shaped contacts and rectangular current-carrying buses are considered...

Effect of the spreading of the contact spot on the pulsed heating of electrodes
A numerical calculation of the pulsed heating of electrical contacts in a wide temperature range up to the melting point is carried out on the basis of experimental oscillograms of the electrode voltage and cu...

Influence of the Thomson effect on the pulse heating of high-current electrical contacts
Pulse heating of high-current contacts is notable for the presence of considerable temperature gradients in the contact area, which cause the Thomson effect—the appearance of thermoelectric currents. The amoun...

Computer simulation and experimental study of transient processes in a single-phase voltage transformer
We perform simulation and experimental investigation of transient processes emerging in a single-phase transformer when it is connected to the network. The transformer model constructed taking into account the...

On Peculiarities of Welding and Destruction of the Surface of High-Current Layered Contacts by Pulsed Currents
Numerical modeling of the impact of short-duration pulsed currents on closed high-current copper- coated aluminum contacts is carried out. The modes of the current effects are studied which induce a significan...

A Way of Increasing Maximum Permissible Short-Circuit Surge Currents in Electrical Contacts
Current passing through electrical contacts causes additional heat release due to the presence of a contact resistance. Heat release in contacts may be considerable. In high-current contacts of high-voltage el...

Applicability Limits of the Holm–Kohlrausch Approximation to Determine Heating of High-Current Symmetrical Electric Contacts
On the basis of numerical simulation of heating of symmetric contacts with flowing current, conclusions were drawn about the accuracy of determining the temperature by the Holm–Kohlrausch method for various me...

A Method for Calculating of Нeating Closed High-Current Electric Contacts by Pulsed Currents
We propose an original method for numerical calculation of heating of high-current electric contacts in the closed state by pulsed currents with a duration comparable with the period of the industrial-frequenc...
