'Creating linked relay test steps to achieve a custom device test'
How to achieve a custom relay device test by linking ramp and contact resistance tests such that the coil control timing and drive levels act as if a single custom test had been created. An example is shown of measuring contact resistance's related to the measured operate and release voltage of the device.28/11/1997
'Testing two single contacts on each RT90/RT290 changeover contact'
How to connect two single contacts to each RT90 or RT290 changeover contact wiring to enable a relay constructed as (say) 2 Form-A and 2 Form-B contacts to be tested. Diagrams show how to connect the Kelvin wiring together with a small amount of additional circuitry and how to control it from the test.26/11/1997
