The wire resistances R2 and R3 are inevitably included in the measured value. Wire resistance can be cancelled by calibration, but
just at one speci c temperature of the wire (often room temperature). It Inter

If and only if the wire resistances R1 and R3 are equal you measure the true Pt100 resistance. As the wire L2 also is coloured red
your e or
(and hard to follow) you have to keep all the wire resistances R1, R2 and R3 equal.

The current source will maintain the excitation current constantly (0.1 – 1 mA). Following the Law of Ohm, R = U / I, the resistance
can be calculated. The digital volt meter, DVM, has an input impedance of at least 10 Mohms.

Thus just an extremely small current will pass through the DVM which means that the voltage drops over the wire resistances R2
and R3 will be practically none.
