Contact Resistance Tester / Ductor Testing
 The contact resistance is the resistance to the current flow in electrical connections, due to surface conditions in the connection o contact surface, which may lead to poor or bad connection if it is too high, causing different problems in the circuit. Therefore, the contact resistance test measures the resistance of electrical connections in switching devices, breakers, relays, joints, connectors, etc, for finding bad or corroded contacts as a preventive method, or for diagnosis and problem solving.
The contact resistance test is very important for contacts that carry large amounts of current (e.g. circuit breakers, busbars, cable joints, etc) as higher contact resistance leads to higher losses, lower current carrying capacity and dangerous hot spots in the substation, so that the contact resistance test is used for detecting and preventing future problems, checking the circuit or equipment condition.

Major Applications- Circuit breakers, isolators- Shunts, busbars- Cables, joints- Metallurgical application
