9 Milliohm Measurement (4-Pole-Measurement)
9.1 Compensation of Cable Resistance
Electrical resistance is a dipole quantity which can generally
only be measured using two poles. This is accomplished by
directing a measuring current of predetermined magnitude
through the device under test, and measuring the resultant
voltage drop. The respective resistance value is derived from
the quotient of these two values.
The two points between which voltage is measured are
decisive as regards the results of the measurement. All
resistances between these two points add to the measured
resistance value. These include contact resistance, as well as
cable resistance. If a very low resistance value needs to be
measured, for example contact resistance at a contactor with
a value of only a few milliohms, the points between which
voltage is measured must be moved out of the measuring
instrument and positioned as closely as possible to the
device under test. For this reason, the measuring instrument
is equipped with separate jacks for current feed and voltage
measurement. This type of 4-pole connection is known as
connection according to Kelvin.
KC4 Kelvin clips and KC27 Kelvin probes (available as
accessories) allow for easy, correct connection.
9.1.1 Measurement with Kelvin Probe KC27
9.2 Thermovoltage Compensation
Thermovoltages which occur as a result of material and
temperature differences may distort measurement results. For
this reason, the instrument is equipped with automatic
thermovoltage compensation in the relevant measuring
ranges.
Note!
If the measuring current is interrupted during 4-wire-
m-measurement or if the fuse is defective, the
message „leads open“ flashes on the display.
If fuse is defective, see chapter 14.2.
