EN Electrical contacts are essential part of many electrical appliances, among which are circuit breakers or electromagnetic relays. For their long term usage heat distribution, during normal operation, is a key factor. Heat generated is relative to both the current value and electrical contact resistance. A numerical simulation, using specialized scientific program, is used to observe heat distribution in electrical contacts. This simulation is generated based on real electrical contacts data used in electromagnetic relays.
