Abstract

The results of studying the effect of the transient resistance of contacts on the result of differential thermoelectric testing are presented. The principle of the differential testing method with two hot electrodes and one heating system, as well as the design of such a sensor is demonstrated. The rationale for the formation of a multipoint contact and an equivalent sensor circuit corresponding to the multipoint contact are given. The influence of contact resistance on the testing result is investigated both on the model and experimentally.
