Abstract

Nano technology is one of new areas in material developments, and nanocrystalline contact materials, such as CuCr and AgSnO2, may have different electrical performances from microcrystalline contacts. A review is made in this paper to compare performance differences between nanocrystalline and microcrystalline contact materials, including arcing durations, welding behaviors, chopping currents, breakdown voltages, and breaking capacities.
