WHEATSTONE BRIDGE SLIDE WIRE 1/2M ALUM. BASE

  • EM4510-001

The IEC Wheatstone Bridge is the classic instrument for measuring resistance using the 'balanced bridge' method. IEC makes both 1m and 1/2m long bridges.  The 1m bridge has 4x gaps and the 1/2m bridge has 2 gaps for external component connection.  The terminals are IEC spin free head 4mm socket type so that banana plugs or wires can be used for connection.

The constructin is from aluminium channel to avoid warping and cracking found with timber. A knife edge 'Jockey' is included and the 'Advance' resistance wire is used so that the resistance of the wire does not alter with the temperature of the wire.    This wire is stretched taut over a metric rule and in the case of a breakage,  it is easiy replaced.
