30、is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that

40、 Howard Wolfman Yu Yuan *Member Emeritus 6 Copyright 2017 IEEE. All rights reserved. Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std C37.30.1a-2017, IEEE Standard Requirements for AC High-Voltage Air Switches Rated Above 1000 VAmendment 1: Criteria for acceptance. It is common practice in the
41、 disconnect switch industry to use contacts comprised of metals other than copper as the actual contact surface. This is because copper oxidizes easily and leaves a very high surface resistance leading to contact overheating and eventual failure. A precious metal like silver also oxidizes but its ox
42、ide resistance remains very low, making silver the most common metal specified for disconnect switch contact surfaces. Other high conductivity materials could be used. Numerous open and close operations of the switch can wear through the silver (or other) contact surface, exposing copper that has the abovementioned failure mode. The current terminology “undue wear” is sufficiently vague as to cause uncertainty in evaluating mechanical operations test performance. This amendment provides additional information and test criteria. 7 Copyright 2017 IEEE. All rights reserved.
