And even if one wires it up incorrectly, at least one has nulled out most of the wire resistance in one’s test leads…. (Though, an incorrectly wired Kelvin probe is usually worse than 4 ...

As with many two-wire resistance measurements, an RTD's lead wires have resistance and long lead wires will greatly affect the measurement accuracy. Therefore, the actual resistance measured by the ...

A 4-wire configuration only requires one excitation current IOUT, as shown in Figure 5. Three analogue pins from the ADC are used to implement a single 4-wire RTD configuration: one pin for excitation ...

An RTD is made up of either 2, 3 or 4 wires, with 3-wire and 4-wire being the most commonly used. These are passive sensors that require an excitation current to produce an output voltage. The output ...
