+ | |||
+ | Often resistors are used to measure a current $I$ via the voltage drop on the resistor $U = R \cdot I$. Applications include the measurement of motor currents in the range of $0.1 ... 500 ~\rm A$. \\ | ||
+ | Those resistors are called //shunt resistors// and are commonly in the range of some $\rm m\Omega$. | ||
+ | This measurement can be interfered by the resistor of the supply lines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get an accurate measurement often Kelvin sensing, also known as {{wp> | ||
+ | This is a method of measuring electrical resistance avoiding errors caused by wire resistances. \\ | ||
+ | The simulation in <imgref BildNr005> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Four-terminal sensing involves using: | ||
+ | * a pair of //current leads// or //force leads// (with the resistances $R_{\rm cl1}$ and $R_{\rm cl2}$) to supply current to the circuit and | ||
+ | * a pair of //voltage leads// or //sense leads// (with the resistances $R_{\rm vl1}$ and $R_{\rm vl2}$) to measure the voltage drop across the impedance to be measured. | ||
+ | The sense connections via the voltage leads are made immediately adjacent to the target impedance $R_{\rm s}$ at the device under test $\rm DUT$. | ||
+ | By this, they do not include the voltage drop in the force leads or contacts. \\ | ||
+ | Since almost no current flows to the measuring instrument, the voltage drop in the sense leads is negligible. | ||
+ | This method can be a practical tool for finding poor connections or unexpected resistance in an electrical circuit. | ||

- | What does this diagram tell us? This shall be investigated by an example. First, assume an unloaded voltage divider with $R_2 = 4.0 ~k\Omega$ and $R_1 = 6.0 ~k\Omega$, and an input voltage of $10~\rm V$. Thus $k = 0.60$, $R_s = 10~k\Omega$ and $U_1 = 6.0~\rm V$. | + | What does this diagram tell us? This shall be investigated by an example.

- | Now this voltage divider is loaded with a load resistor. If this is at $R_{\rm L} = R_1 = 10 ~k\Omega$, $k$ reduces to about $0.48$ and $U_1$ reduces to $4.8~\rm V$ - so the output voltage drops.

For $R_{\rm L} = 4.0~\rm k\Omega$, $k$ becomes even smaller to $k=0.375$ and $U_1 = 3.75~\rm V$. If the load $R_{\rm L}$ is only one-tenth of the resistor $R_{\rm s}=R_1 + R_2$, the result is $k = 0.18$ and $U_1 = 1.8~\rm V$. The output voltage of the unloaded voltage divider ($6.0~\rm V$) thus became less than one-third. |
