Contact Penetration, Insertion, and Wipe
The main distinction between the contact penetration, sometimes
referred to as contact insertion, and the contact wipe is that the first is
obtained through mechanical measurement and the second through
electrical measurement.
The value of contact penetration is obtained as follows: with the circuit
breaker closed, a mark is made on the moving contact as shown in
Figure A.28.
Figure A.28 Contact Penetration Value Preparation
With the circuit breaker open, the distance between the mark and the top
of the moving contact is measured as shown in Figure A.29. This distance
is the value of contact penetration or contact insertion.
