Principle and application of small resistance measurement

The measurement of small resistance is widely used in preventive maintenance to check grounding continuity, surface metal conditions, contact resistance of switches and relays, and resistance of cables and windings to evaluate motor and transformer temperature conditions. For example, to detect metal joints. It covers a wide range of industries, including manufacturers in the automotive industry, telecommunications, transportation, motors and transformers, as well as companies that perform repairs and maintenance in these areas.

Measuring principle

The most basic principle of measuring resistance is Ohm's law: U = R × I. When the measured resistance is very low, the value is obtained by measuring the magnitude of the injection current and the voltage across the object to be measured. This connection method is called four-wire measurement, which is also called Kelvin bridge, which effectively avoids The effect of contact resistance or wire resistance when measuring small resistance.

Principle and application of small resistance measurement

The DC voltage source provides a voltage U and the current source provides a current I.

The voltmeter measures the voltage drop Ux across the measured resistance Rx to give Rx=Ux/I. This result is not affected by the Ri, Rf, Rc in the loop, as long as the total voltage drop caused by them and Rx is still lower than the voltage that the current source can provide. In practice, a retractable or rotating double needle probe or Kelvin clamp is used to better contact the object being measured. In general, when measuring devices such as rivets, two given test probes must have the ability to expand and contract.

The micro-ohmmeter must have a resolution of 1μΩ or even 0.1μΩ, a wide measurement range, and can measure the heat generated by the current, which is compensated by the thermocouple.

In order to ensure operator safety, the device must prevent accidental overvoltages and prevent the measurement from triggering the automatic discharge of the sensing object in the presence of interference voltage. Since the resistance of the metal changes significantly with temperature, it is a good idea to use a given reference temperature to display the measurement. The device has a powerful function that can be automatically performed at ambient temperature and reference temperature depending on the type of metal (temperature coefficient: copper or aluminum is approximately 0.4% / °C).
