Abstract :
This paper presents a thermal voltage converter (TVC) using thermistors as temperature detectors instead of thermocouples, as it is commonly used. Thermistors have the advantage of having high temperature coefficients. This permits operation at low working temperatures. In this way, the main causes of AC/DC errors can be reduced.
