  2. Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor

    AC contactor for pump application. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. [1] A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.

  3. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    For contact spots of radii smaller than the mean free path of electrons , ballistic conduction of electrons occurs, resulting in a phenomenon known also as Sharvin resistance. [10] Contact force or pressure increases the size of the a-spot which decreases the constriction resistance and the electrical contact resistance. [ 11 ]

  5. Contact protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_protection

    Every time the contacts of an electromechanical switch, relay or contactor are opened or closed, there is a certain amount of contact wear. If the contact is cycling without electricity (dry), the impact of the contact electrodes a slightly deformed by the resulting cold forging. [1]

  6. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

    A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay , but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.

  7. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

    These effects can largely be overcome using electronic ignition systems, where the contact breakers are retrofitted by a magnetic (Hall effect) or optical sensor device. However, because of their simplicity, and since contact breaker points gradually degrade instead of catastrophically failing, they are still used on aircraft engines.

  9. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    The diode is installed so that it does not conduct under normal conditions. When the external driving current is interrupted, the inductor current flows instead through the diode. The stored energy of the inductor is then gradually dissipated by the diode voltage drop and the resistance of the inductor itself. One disadvantage of using a simple ...
