What is the basic difference between 2 Wire, 3 Wire and 4
Wire RTD
Answer Posted / faiyaz ahmad
As we all know, each and every thing has some resistance.Like wise,the resistance of the conductor increases with the length of the conductor.
2 wire- The RTD element's resistance will be calculated between 2 wires.i.e; positive & negative.In this measurement, the RTD output also includes the resistance of the 2 wires which we use to connect from RTD element to temperature transmitter.
3 wire- The RTD element's resistance will be calculated between one positive and two negative terminals.In this measurement, the RTD element's third wire is used to compensate the lead resistance of one neagative wire as both the wires get shorted and resistance of the two negative wires is approxiamately 0 ohms.But still the resistance of the positive wire will get added in the output which is almost negligible.
4 wire- This 4 wire measurement is used where we need almost
100% accuracy.The RTD element's resistance will be calculated between two positive and two negative wires.In this measurement,two positive wires will get shorted and two
negative wires will get shorted making the lead resistance of both the wires eliminated approxiamately.

In most instances, Inertia processes are quite uncommon. Give an example of a combined Resistance and Capacitance situation.Describe an application, which according to your understanding of the subject matter, comprises of both Resistance and Capacitance effects.
If a control valve is hunting means means if we are giving 50% to the cv, the cv will open at 51% then slowly slwoly it will reaches 49% , so what to do for solve this problem.
