When accuracy really counts, you should make four-wire resistance measurements. Sometimes referred to as the Kelvin method, the four-wire resistance method is often used in automated test applications where long cable lengths, numerous connections, or switches exist between the digital multimeter...

RTDs are resistive devices, so lead wire resistance directly affects its accuracy.The error can be quite large, depending on the lead wire resistance (measured in ohms / foot).For example, an uncompensated 2-wire circuit using 30 gauge wires can have an error as high as 1.2°F per foot!Fortunately...

ACROLAB RTD assemblies utilize wire wound platinum elements with a reference resistance of 100 Ohms at 0 C and a temperature coefficient of 0.00385 Ohms/Ohm/C degrees. ALL Acrolab RTD probes are of the "filled tube" or "MGO" construction, providing long operating life in high vibration...

It is common knowledge in industry that 4-wire measurement is the preferred method for resistances under 1 O but what makes it so advantageous over 2- and 3- wire measurement? Let's look at how the technique was invented and why it works....

...of fine coiled wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core. The element is usually quite fragile, so it is often placed inside a sheathed probe to protect it. The RTD element is made from a pure material whose resistance at various temperatures has been documented. The material has a predictable change...

This application note describes how a Microohmmeter with offset voltage compensation can assist a manufacturer or processor of electrical wire to measure wire gauge in real time and cost effectively meet the DC Resistance measurements requirements of UL2556....
