Typical contact elements of an electromechanical relay or contactor. A “contact” is a pair of electrodes (typically, one moving; one stationary) designed to control electricity. Electromechanical switches, relays, and contactors “turn power on” when the moving electrode makes contact with the stationary electrode to carry current.
Contact resistance values are typically small (in the microohm to milliohm range). Contact resistance can cause significant voltage drops and heating in circuits with high current. Because contact resistance adds to the intrinsic resistance of the conductors, it can cause significant measurement errors when exact resistance values are needed.
Contact force or pressure increases the size of the a-spot which decreases the constriction resistance and the electrical contact resistance. [11] When the size of contacting asperities becomes larger than the mean free path of electrons, Holm-type contacts become the dominant transport mechanism, resulting in a relatively low contact ...
Breaker arm with contact points at the left. The pivot is on the right and the cam follower is in the middle of the breaker arm. A contact breaker (or "points") is a type of electrical switch, found in the ignition systems of spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The switch is automatically operated by a cam driven by the engine.

The resulting Contact Arc Suppression Factor [CASF] is dimensionless. Contact Arc Suppression Factor (CASF) test set-up. The results obtained using this test set-up allow for determining the effectiveness of a contact arc suppression on either an electromechanical relay or a contactor. W (arc) = V (arc) × I (arc) × T (arc)
An electrical room is a technical room or space in a building dedicated to electrical equipment. Its size is usually proportional to the size of the building; large buildings may have a main electrical room and subsidiary electrical rooms. Electrical equipment may be for power distribution equipment, or for communications equipment. [1]
The Music Room at the Breakers stood in as the Russells' ballroom. The Library served as a private space for the Vanderbilt family to relax and take their afternoon tea. The Library.
