Upon comparing the values, it is obvious that it is permissible to connect these instruments
to one another. However, the operator must also take into account the values for
inductance and capacitance of the electrical connection leads.
These calculations apply to the Z954 Zener barrier in connection with a resistance
thermometer Pt100 in 3-channel mode without grounding, i.e., symmetrical operation of
the resistance thermometer in 3-wire circuit on a display or evaluation instrument.
