Influence of RC Element Wiring in Electrical Circuit on Electromechanical Thermostat Contact Wear

Contact wear caused by electric arc during electric contact make (cut-in) and break (cut-out) has the direct impact on the contact lifetime. The RC element wired parallelly to the contact will eliminate or reduce the arcing and subsequently extend the lifetime. Comparative tests of the two sets of i...
