Data record gloss.four-terminal-measurement.usage

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A maker's description of low-resistance testing states that its low-resistance ohmmeters and micro-ohmmeters make a four-terminal Kelvin measurement so that the resistance of the test leads and of the contacts does not enter the reading. It adds that a high test current overcomes the effects of lead resistance, oxidation, contamination and thermal EMF, with bi-directional testing and filtering used to keep the readings stable.
