Electric resistance stability measurements in power utility connections

Power connector reliability evaluations are based on initial resistance and the relative stability of that resistance for the duration of the application. When these measured resistances include substantial contributions from the conductors that are part of the current loop, misleading results can b...

Description
Summary:Power connector reliability evaluations are based on initial resistance and the relative stability of that resistance for the duration of the application. When these measured resistances include substantial contributions from the conductors that are part of the current loop, misleading results can be obtained. An alternate resistance measurement technique is proposed and compared with the standard ANSI methods.
