Test Stand for Temperature Characteristics of Ultra-Precise Resistors

Mechatronics - Ideas for Industrial Application

Abstract

Paper presents the test stand, measurement methodology and exemplary results of measurements of thermal characteristics of ultra-precise resistors. Precise resistors are commonly used, as current-voltage converters or in precise current sources. Electric circuits are supposed to work in wide range of temperatures, which can change the resistance value, and thus be a source of unacceptable measurement error. Therefore it is important for designers and constructors to select the most temperature-stable resistors. The presented test stand is a reliable source of data about resistors temperature coefficients, with accuracy of 0.05 ppm/ºC.
