Contact Resistance

Measures mΩ in joints and contacts to detect false supports.

Contact Resistance

What is it

Micro-ohm measurement (ductor) to evaluate resistance in power joints/connections.

Why is it done

High values generate heating and losses; good contact ensures reliability and safety.

How is it done

  • Instrument: micro-ohmmeter with injected current.
  • Use Kelvin probes, clean surfaces, and ensure constant pressure/contact.
  • Perform several repetitions until stabilized and document ambient temperature.

Expected results

  • Low and stable mΩ; compare with manufacturer/specification.
  • Scattered or increasing values → check tightness, oxidation, and surface condition.
