The following lab notes represent a selection of papers developed by Arc Suppression Technologies. Please check back periodically for new notes.
Lab Note #103
“Snubbers—Are They Really Arc Suppressors”
(Click to download)
Product designers, technicians and engineers are all trained to believe that snubbers reduce or eliminate electrical contact arcing
Lab Note #104
“EMI Reduction—Unsuppressed vs. Suppressed Arcing”
(Click to download)
The NOsparc arc suppressor in this test reduced overall broadband EMI
spectral emissions consistently across the full range
Lab Note #105
“Contact Life—Unsuppressed vs. Suppressed Arcing”
(Click to download)
Only an arc suppressor can visibly limit the destruction caused by electrical arcing to
contacts
Lab Note #106
“Environmental Impact—Of Arc Suppression”
(Click to download)
Unsuppressed arcing breaks down the chemical bonds of the atmospheric gases surrounding the contacts
Lab Note #107
“Relay Life—Unsuppressed vs. Suppressed Arcing”
(Click to download)
Notably, the relay in operated Test III completed 1 million cycles which is a feat in
itself
App Note #101
“Hybrid Power Switching—A Green Alternative to SSRs”
