Abstract:

Through the thermal stability and conductor current carrying capacity analysis,the effects of contact bridge material and conductor current carrying capacity and other factors on the short-time withstand current capacity of AC contactor is clarified.The different materials and production processes of four kinds of contact bridges were adjusted.Their short-time withstand current capacity was compared through tests.The test results show that the short-time withstand current capability of AC contactor can be effectively improved by selecting high conductivity materials as conductors and increasing the cross-sectional area of conductors.

Key words: thermal stability, current carrying capacity, AC contactor, short-time withstand current
