Examples of approximate lead wire resistance effect calculations
Given:
Total cable length:
Imbalance of the lead wires at 20 °C:
Resistance/length (18 AWG Cu):
Temperature coefficient of Cu (α
Temperature coefficient of Pt(α
Change in Ambient Temperature (ΔT
RTD Resistance at 0 °C (R
• Pt100 4-wire RTD: No lead wire resistance effect.
• Pt100 3-wire RTD:
Lead wire imbalance seen by the transmitter = 0.5 Ω
• Pt100 2-wire RTD:
Lead wire resistance seen by the transmitter = 150 m × 2 wires × 0.025 Ω/m = 7.5 Ω
