Measuring temperature with RTD / Resistance thermometer

Ads by Go
The RTD resistance will change with respect to the temperature. So temperature will be measured by using the RTD resistance.

The simplest way to measure the resistance of a RTD, is to inject a constant current into the RTD and to measure the voltage that C
develops  across the RTD. A Wheatstone  bridge circuit, shown in Figure, is  however generally used to detect the  changes in
resistance of a resistance thermometer (RTD).

The values of the xed resistors, R1,R2 and R3, are very accurately known, while RT represents the resistance of RTD with leads
a and b. The bridge is said to be in null balance, when the voltage across points A and B is zero. This occurs when RT = R3×(R1/R2) ,
causing VAC = VBC, resulting in the reading on Multimeter M, to become zero. Categor

The zero condition would correspond to the zero  point or set point of the resistance thermometer (RTD) output. As the Latest C
temperature  increases, the resistance RT, of the resistance thermometer (RTD) will increase, causing  the bridge to become
unbalanced, and meter M to show a reading. The meter M may be calibrated in temperature units or VAB may be converted into a smita

The current owing through the RTD must be  kept as low as possible (< 1 mA) to minimize errors caused by I2R losses
and associated temperature rise in the RTD itself. Satheesh
Very usefu
