2-Wire Configuration

The basic 2-wire configuration is shown in Figure 2-2. In this configuration

an error voltage (V

) is introduced into the measurement equal to the

excitation current (I

) times the sum of the two lead resistances, R

and

. If we assume equal lead resistances, R

= R

, the magnitude of

the error voltage is:

This is the most commonly used configuration for connecting thermistors

to a signal conditioning system because the large sensitivity of thermistors

usually results in the introduction of a negligible error by the lead

resistances.

RTDs typically have a much smaller sensitivity and nominal resistance than

thermistors, therefore a 2-wire configuration usually results in the

introduction of larger errors by the lead resistance.
