A New Method for Determining the Connection Resistance of the Compression Connector in Cable Joint

A New Method for Determining the Connection Resistance of the Compression Connector in Cable Joint

The compression connector of a cable joint is one of the major components causing joint overheating. This paper proposed a new model to determine the connection resistance of the compression connector. It innovatively integrated electrical contacts model analysis (ECMA) with finite element analysis...
