A Kelvin bridge, also called a Kelvin double bridge and in some countries a Thomson bridge, is a measuring instrument used to measure unknown electrical resistors below 1 ohm. It is specifically designed to measure resistors that are constructed as four terminal resistors.
One such derivative, the Kelvin Double Bridge, is renowned for its ability to measure resistances below one ohm—a critical capability for the early detection of superconductivity using null detector capabilities. The null detector, acting as an ideally sensitive voltmeter, is essential for measuring what is essentially zero ohm resistance ...
In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.
The final stage of a Kelvin–Varley divider is just a Kelvin divider. For a decade divider, there will be ten equal value resistors. Let the value of each resistor be R n Ohms. The input impedance of the entire string will be 10 R n. Alternatively, the last stage can be a two resistor bridge tap.
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 ...
Anderson's bridge. In electronics, Anderson's bridge is a bridge circuit used to measure the self-inductance of the coil. It enables measurement of inductance by utilizing other circuit components like resistors and capacitors. [1] Anderson's bridge was invented by Alexander Anderson in 1891. [2]
Voltage dividers are used for adjusting the level of a signal, for bias of active devices in amplifiers, and for measurement of voltages. A Wheatstone bridge and a multimeter both include voltage dividers. A potentiometer is used as a variable voltage divider in the volume control of many radios.
The Schering bridge is an electrical circuit used for measuring the insulating properties of electrical cables and equipment. [1] It is an AC bridge circuit , developed by Harald Schering . It has the advantage that the balance equation is independent of frequency.
