Abstract
To facilitate assessments of in-service switching reliability, a second-generation switching characteristic has been developed for use during laboratory loadbreak tests. This switching characteristic is one step toward a realistic reliability assessment of separable connector switching. First-generation switching characteristics are compared to the newly developed characteristic to demonstrate that the latter stresses separable connectors more realistically. A laboratory test protocol using the switching characteristic is proposed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
