GENERAL FEATURES
Connections between thermocouples and devices are made with special cables. These cables are called thermocouple compensation cables. The conductors of compensation cables are special alloys that have similar properties to the thermocouple element wire. Therefore, a Cu-Const special cable is required for a Cu-Const thermocouple, and a Fe-Const special cable is required for a Fe-Const thermocouple. Temperature information is transferred from the thermocouple to the device more economically through compensation cables. Compensation cables provide the same mV-temperature properties of the same type of thermocouples up to 200°C. When one end of the thermocouple compensation cable is welded, the mV value of that type of thermocouple is obtained from the other end up to 200°C, in accordance with the value in the standards. However, the mV value it produces is limited to 200°C. Therefore, the ambient temperature in which the compensation cables will circulate should not exceed 200°C. The terminal box or thermocouple head to which the compensation cable and thermocouple element wire are connected cannot exceed 200°C. If it comes out, it will make an incorrect measurement as much as the amount that comes out.
Since compensation cables provide the electrical properties of the thermocouple element wire up to a certain temperature, the cold point is no longer the ends of the thermocouple element wire in the terminal box, but the other ends of the compensation cable connected to the terminal. In this way, the thermocouple end point fits the definition of hot point, and the end ends of the compensation cables fit the definition of cold point. The cold point, that is, the temperature of the end point of the extension cable, becomes important for the thermocouple phenomenon. If the compensation cable ends are connected directly to the device, the temperature at this point must be compensated. The process includes ?cold spot temperature compensators? in electronic devices. It is done with. At the device entrance, the mV value proportional to the ambient temperature where the device is located is added to the thermocouple leg to compensate for the cold spot temperature. If extensions are made with copper cable for thermocouples, the terminal point where the copper cable connected to the thermocouple head is connected to the element wire is the cold point. The mV value at this point is carried to the device via the copper cable. If the temperature at the connection point to the device is different from the thermocouple head temperature, it will cause an error equal to this temperature difference. If an error-free measurement is desired, thermocouple compensation cables should be used.
Compensation cables are produced in various insulations and have (+) (-) polarities, just like element wires. The connection must be made in accordance with this polarity.
