4.5 Wiring variants
4.5.1 Pt100 measuring inserts
Resistance thermometers are connected acc. to DIN EN 60751 in three different wiring variants.
Of the three, the 3-wire connection is the most frequently used in the industry:
Applications and features
• The 2-wire connection is used with short cable connections and minimal requirements for
accuracy.
• The 3-wire connection is the industry standard and largely eliminates the effect of supply
resistance.
• The 4-wire connection completely eliminates the distorting influences of the supply
resistance and guarantees minimal measuring uncertainty.
