Temperature Conversion
Background

The Temperature Conversion function allows you to
determine the temperature change of a DUT at any given
resistance, if the initial temperature, the inferred zero
resistance temperature for the DUT and the initial
resistance of the DUT are known. The displayed result
can also be the extrapolated to calculate the final
temperature (T) or the extrapolated temperature
difference (△T)*.
Temperature Conversion function works on the following
formula:

Where:

The temperature conversion function is used to
determine the temperature of transformer windings,
electric motors, or other materials where it may not be
practical to embed a temperature sensor.

**"Constant" setting on the panel display is equivalent to
the absolute value of the inferred zero resistance
temperature.
