Primary stationary contacts
The primary stationary contact is a combination of two
items (Figure 3-9). One is a conductive pad mounted on
the line conductor which functions as the stationary main
contact. The other is an arc runner, also connected to the
line conductor. The integral arc runner serves a dual
purpose:
•
Fixed arcing contact
•
Part of the arc chute
