Example Sentences
- "It suspects the contacts of the SIS [sand isolation switch] had become oxidised, which would prevent current from flowing. But it thinks this might have taken place after the accident, but before RAIB examined the switch, because oxidisation is more likely when there's no current, as happens when the train sits unused."
