AMI DODUCO Paper at 2007 IEEE Holm Conference Addresses Improved Contact Material for Circuit Breakers with Arc Fault Circuit Interruption.EXPORT, Pa. -- AMI DODUCO, a Technitrol (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :TNL TNL The Next Level (church; gaming clan) TnL Transform and Lighting (video games) TNL Technical Newsletter TNL target nomination list (US DoD) ) Company, recently presented a paper at the 53rd IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts describing its efforts to improve the performance and reliability of contact material as circuit breaker technology continues to evolve. Held in Pittsburgh, the conference was attended by about 130 engineers internationally to discuss electrical contact properties in power and signal distribution. "Weibull Analysis of Switch Contact Resistance in Laboratory and Commercial Circuit Breakers", authored by Chi Leung, Eric Streicher and Dennis Fitzgerald and presented by Dr. Chi Leung, discusses AMI DODUCO's method of developing contact material to meet the performance and reliability required in circuit breakers with intelligent arc fault circuit Interruption (AFCI AFCI Association of Film Commissioners International AFCI Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter AFCI Advanced Fibre Communications, Inc AFCI Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (Institut de la Fondation d'Acupuncture du Canada) ). The effort focuses on increasing long-term switching life while minimizing temperature degradation and nuisance tripping in the costly AFCI breakers, which will be specified in new construction and electrical remodeling by the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. ) by 2008. The paper reviews contact resistance measurements and Weibull statistical analysis to get better reliability readings in a laboratory switch as compared with commercial breakers.
