Abstract
An improved lead resistance compensation technique for use with three-wire resistance temperature detectors (RTD) is presented. The present practice of using the three-wire concept in an un-balanced bridge to provide signal to direct reading instruments produces nearly 1% error for a lead resistance as low as 1 Ω. In contrast, the new method limits the error to below 0.1% with much higher lead wire resistances. © 1999 IEEE.
