What's the word for connecting something live and causing the
connection to make and break several times rapidly, possibly damaging
the equipment?


Intermittent.


That would do, dunno why I didn't think of that. I also like "contact
bounce" as suggested by someone else.



Contact bounce normally refers to a switch or relay etc. Intermittent
covers any fault with those symptoms.
