What Are the Differences Between 2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire RTDs? A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) measures temperature using a resistor with a resistance value that changes as its temperature increases or decreases. RTDs are typically manufactured in three different wiring configurations: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire. Each configuration is designed to compensate for lead wire resistance to varying degrees, impacting measurement accuracy.
