  • Contact pad designed for a movable electrical contact of a circuit breaker, movable electrical contact having such a pad and circuit breaker comprising such a contact
    Patent number: 7598832
    Abstract: Contact pad designed to be fixed on a movable contact of a low-voltage circuit breaker designed to withstand peak short-circuit currents comprised between 200 and 600 amperes per square millimeter of pad. The pad is made of a silver- or copper-based conducting material alloy, a fraction of refractory particles such as tungsten carbide, tungsten or titanium nitride and a fraction of carbon fibers. The weight percentage of carbon fibers in the pad is strictly less than 2% of the total weight of the pad.
