WIKA operating instructions, models TRxx and TCxx
Causes
Parasitic voltages (thermal
voltages, galvanic voltage) or
wrong equalisation line
Cable break in connecting cable
or loose contact caused by
mechanical overload
Composition of the medium not
as expected or modified or wrong
thermowell material selected
Stray currents caused by electric
fields or earth loops
Earth loops
Measures
Use suitable compensating cable
Replace probe or measuring insert
with a suitable design, for example
equipped with a strain relief or a
thicker conductor cross-section
Analyse medium and then select a
more suitable material or replace
thermowell regularly
Use shielded connecting cables,
and increase the distance to
motors and power cables
Eliminate potential differences by
using galvanically isolated barriers
or transmitters
