resistors - Lez - Apr 21 15:01:21 2006

DoH!

I'm telling you my head hurts......

I was trying to work out the value of a thermistor to order a spare,
its got a resistor in parallel with it, of (according to meter) 17.2k
(17200ohms)

At 0degress C its reading (therm+resistor combination) is 4237 ohms
At 100 degrees C its reading 346 ohms

Everytime I work it out I get a different reading when I double check
it by doinfthe same sum backwards.

I tried an online one but it crashed, gave a reading with an exponent (E+3 etc)
or kept saying 1856 ohms, which it cant be...

I had not realised how bad I had got at maths having a pc etc always by my side!

Just measure the thermistor alone, at 20 degC...that'll give you its
nominal value.
Not a foolproof way of identifying it though as all thermistors are not
the
same in terms of temp/value characteristics.

Its set in epoxy and part of a bigger block, so I Cant dig/drill it out
without fear of further damage.

Just got back from taking wife shopping (please no pity) so when my head
stops spinning I will get the calculator out and try again.........

I uploaded an Excel file graph of the ideal slope the thermister would
have with the data points you gave.
