Term : cold junction compensation
What is 'cold junction compensation'? What does 'cold junction compensation' mean?
Definition
Also called reference junction compensation. When measuring temperature using thermocouples, the reference terminal may not be held at 0°C, but at the surrounding temperature of T1°C instead. Without any compensation, the thermocouple output will be reduced by T1°C. This is compensated by adding potential difference to the internal amplifier corresponding to T1°C.
