Popis: Contact resistance is an essential cause of electrical equipment joint heating. An experimental platform was built to measure and compare temperature and contact resistance of memory alloy spring washers and ordinary spring washers when heated by taking the same heavy current, on condition that both of the counterparts had the same initial contact resistance and temperature. Results showed that memory alloy washer were more helpful to limit the joint temperature rise by reducing contact resistance from their features of tempting to restore to original shape when heated to a high temperature. Therefore, the memory alloy washers were proved to have remarkable effect on ensuring safety of electric power equipments and reducing energy loss.
