CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The T477W is designed to measure values of resistance from 2000 milliohms to less than 0.2 milliohms.  Connections to the unknown 

resistance are made by four wire (Kelvin) connections that consist of two current and two voltage sensing leads.  The meter circuit 

provides a regulated alternating current @ 78 Hz that is fed through the unknown resistance while the voltage generated across that 

unknown resistance is sensed.  Since the sensed voltage is caused by a constant current, and voltage is proportional to resistance, the 

meter interprets voltages in terms of resistance.
