Abstract
The working environment of carbon brushes and slip rings in marine applications is extremely harsh, as salt spray deposition alters the contact surface and significantly affects contact resistance. To accurately evaluate the electrical contact performance of carbon brushes and slip rings, it is essential to establish a mathematical model of contact resistance. The main influencing factors include salt spray concentration, sliding speed, contact current, and contact pressure. In this study, the variation trends of dynamic contact resistance with respect to these four factors were investigated through experiments, and the corresponding mechanisms were analyzed. The results show that contact resistance increases consistently with rising salt spray concentration, and the trend continues upward. It also increases gradually with higher sliding speed. Conversely, contact resistance decreases…
