An Optimum Switching Criterion for a Third-order Contactor Acceleration Control System

A switching criterion for optimum performance of a third-order contractor acceleration control system having complex roots is presented. Analytical and analog-computer methods are utilized to determine this criterion. The resulting optimum transient responses are presented and compared with those of an equivalent linear system.
