contact touch/contact break
Les solicito ayuda con contact touch y contact break, que no encontré en ningún lado. Se trata de un manual de instrucciones de un dispositivo integrado de conmutación (entiendo que va dentro de un reconectador). En este párrafo está hablando sobre controlar la velocidad del actuador y la oración dice así:
"If the velocity of the vacuum interrupter is too slow at contact touch or at contact break then excessive arcing will follow"
Desde ya, muchas gracias por su ayuda, como siempre.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Si la velocidad cierre o apertura [de los contactos] del interruptor de vacío es muy lenta, generará un exceso de arcos [eléctricos]
El contacto o separación de los electrodos en un contacto se tienen que efectuar lo más rápido posible para que no se genere calor lo cual termina fundiendo los contactos y echando a perder los interruptores más cuando la potencia es muy elevada
