Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...
Kelvin sensing is the standard term in the realm of [power] semiconductor testing. DFH 19:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC) [ reply ] OK, you seem to be more knowledgeable, so if you think its a good name change go ahead.
The operation of the Kelvin bridge is very similar to the Wheatstone bridge, but uses two additional resistors. Resistors R 1 and R 2 are connected to the outside potential terminals of the four terminal known or standard resistor R s and the unknown resistor R x (identified as P 1 and P′ 1 in the diagram).
In electronics, sense is a technique used in power supplies to produce the correct voltage for a load.Although simple batteries naturally maintain a steady voltage (except in cases of large internal impedance), a power supply must use a feedback system to make adjustments based on the difference between its intended output and its actual output.
The Kelvin-Varley voltage divider, named after its inventors William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin and Cromwell Fleetwood Varley, is an electronic circuit used to generate an output voltage as a precision ratio of an input voltage, with several decades of resolution.

It followed that move with a quarter-point rate cut in November. Those cuts lowered the central bank’s key rate to 4.6%, down from a four-decade high of 5.3%.
This four terminal measurement technique is called Kelvin sensing, after William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, who invented the Kelvin bridge in 1861 to measure very low resistances. The Four-terminal sensing method can also be utilized to conduct accurate measurements of low resistances.
