Temperature switches in machine building: Which type suits?
| Roland Sachs | Know-howTemperature switches are used in machine building and other industrial applications for limiting temperature. They monitor the temperature and react at a predefined point. To protect from overheating they either switch the equipment or machine off or switch on a fan …
Pt100 in 2-, 3- or 4-wire connection?
| Roland Sachs | Know-howPt100, Pt1000 and NTC are the most-used measuring elements in resistance thermometers . I would like to use this blog to consider the question of connection types in greater detail. Resistance thermometers change their electrical resistance as a function of …
Pt100, Pt1000 or NTC – which is the right measuring element?
| Roland Sachs | Know-howEspecially the machine-building industry often asks me which is the right measuring element for them. This is the reason why I want to explain in this article the differences between the most commonly used measuring resistors Pt100, Pt1000 and NTC. I will go into more …
