Apparatus for automatically measuring the resistance and heating up of resistive electrical components

摘要

An apparatus is described for automatically measuring the resistance and heating up of resistive electrical components, such as the windings of transformers or the coils of motors. The apparatus comprises a bridge circuit fed by a source of D.C. voltage and includes a voltage detector and switching means, the latter enabling the voltage detector to be connected across various points of the bridge circuit so as to produce virtually simultaneous measurements of the heating up of the component under test and of the ambient temperature at the place where the tests and measurements are being preformed.
