why heat produced at junction of two different conductor.
what care should be taken to minimize it.

Answer Posted / ashwin

The two dissimilar metals behave or contribute a thermocouple. A thermocouple is a junction between two dissimilar metals when subjected to heat generates voltage. This is seebeck effect. The inverse of this effect is Peltier effect. When current is passed through a junction containing two dissimilar metals heat is generated.

For more details on the principle of thermocouple go to link below:

From the above link if you can reverse the effects or its causative factors you can minimize this effect.
