Research on analysis and measurement method for thermal resistance of precision resistor

A new method of measuring thermal resistance for manganese-copper wire precision resistance is developed. The thermal resistance calculation formula which is suitable for manganese-copper wire precision resistance is derived. A test system for temperature characteristic of resistance and load effect of resistance is built. The phenomenon of zero load effect point is explained. The repeatability of measuring results for of zero load effect point got in experiment is about several parts in 10
