An electronic circuit (125), and corresponding method, for controlling the closing velocity of electrical switchgear (120), includes an actuator (120) and a current detection circuit (125) that detects whether an optimum amount of current is flowing through the actuator. When the optimum amount of current is detected, a current optimizing resistor (135) is inserted into the path of the current flowing through actuator, thus limiting the current flowing through the actuator to the optimum amount. This, in turn, limits the closing velocity of the electrical switchgear and minimizes contact bounce.
