11/12/ · 3 -wire RTD, In this type of configuration three lead wires would come from the RTD. So in this three-wire configuration, two wires would carry the measuring current, while the remaining wire would act as a potential lead. In this type, an additional wire will be added to one contact of the RTD.

Working Principle of RTD. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) operates on the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with changes in temperature. The variation of resistance R with temperature t can be represented by the equation, Where α is the temperature co-efficient at t 0 and R 0 is the resistance at t 0. Advantages
