ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT FOR REDUCING ARC ENERGY AND EROSION IN A CONTACT SYSTEM

Abstract: an electrical connection arrangement includes a first circuit path that has a first electrical resistance and a second circuit path having a second electrical resistance that is lower than the first electrical resistance. the electrical connection arrangement can be configured to provide a connection sequence for electrically connecting the first and second electrical conductors. the connection sequence can include a) a first electrical connection state in which the first and second electrical conductors are not electrically connected; b) a second electrical connection state in which the first and second electrical conductors are electrically connected by the first circuit path and are not electrically connected by the second circuit path; and c) a third electrical connection state in which the first and second electrical conductors are electrically connected by the first circuit path and by the second circuit path.
