A new run-to-run approach for reducing contact bounce in electromagnetic switches

Ramírez-Laboreo, Edgar (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Sagues, Carlos (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Llorente, Sergio

Resumen: Contact bounce is probably the most undesirable phenomenon of electromagnetic switches. It reduces the performance of relays and contactors and is directly related to some of the processes that result in the destruction of the device. In this paper, a complete formulation of the problem is provided and a new strategy inspired by Runto-Run control is presented for reducing contact bounce. The method, which makes use of the repetitive functioning of these systems, is highly versatile and may be applied to different switches under diverse operating conditions. In addition, it is able to deal with changes during the service life of the device, such as plastic deformations or the erosion of the contacts. Several experimental results are included to prove the effectiveness of the method.
