Abstract(in English) We report a thermal analysis method to quantify the melting phenomenon of the contact which causes the contact welding phenomenon of the relay. Melting phenomenon of the contact occurs due to energy being supplied to the contact by the motion bounce arc. At this time, it was found that when the energy of the arc is continued to be given at one point, the analysis result becomes a melting state different from the actual measurement. In this report, the results of thermal analysis are compared with the actual measurement result of the contact melting area by the same arc energy, and the way of giving the arc energy to reproduce the actual measurement is verified. As a result, it was found that the arc energy does not continue to be given at one point, but arc melts the contact while moving on the contact surface.
