    Ambient Temperature E ects on 3 Wire RTD

    Ads by Go
    If it is necessary to perform the temperature measurement, some distance away  from where the RTD  is installed, ambient
    temperature can have a detrimental e ect on the integrity of the measurement. The reason is that the leads that connect the RTD
    Sensor  to the transmitter, will have resistance of their  own, and what is more, this resistance will change with changing
    ambient  temperature. The error introduced by lead resistance, can of course be minimised,  if leads with very low resistance is
    used.

    An ingenious approach to the lead resistance problem, is the three wire method,  illustrated in above  Figure. The three wire
    method attempts to cancel the e ect of the lead resistance, by introducing the same resistance in both branches (wires c and a) of
    the Wheatstone bridge. The three wire method is used extensively for  industrial RTD’s. Three leads a, b and c, connect to the
    RTD and the resistance of wires a and c must be matched. This method assumes that the meter is a high impedance device, and
    that essentially no current is owing in the b wire, which only acts as a voltage sense lead.

    The four wire method, depicted in Below Figure, alleviates many problems  associated with the Wheatstone bridge. Instead of
    using a Wheatstone bridge con guration, a current source is employed to supply a constant current I, to the RTD, through wires a Like our
    and d. A high impedance voltmeter M, measures the voltage developed across the RTD, via wires b and c.

    The measured voltage is directly proportional to the resistance of the RTD, so only the conversion from resistance to temperature Very usefu
