Re: Measuring the resistance of a hot resistor

<rherber1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Gave us:

You conveniently snipped my suggested possible cause for variance in
his initial readings and made no comment on it. If the said resistor
was a slider type (OP doesn't say exactly what type he is using) the
wire might have been damaged by over-tightening the slider or some
other abuse, thus leading to errors especially when hot.

A little more explanation from the OP might be helpful.


It seems obvious to me that it is a fixed value resistor, and no
"slider" was involved. The "some other abuse" is that which you apply
to your head in over-complicating such an easy task.
