What is compensating cable (C)?

Compensating cable

  • cable type is indicated with the letter C, e.g. for K type thermocouple the cable type is KC.
  • wires have similar electrical features as the sensor's thermo wires, but they are not exactly same materials
  • this solution is more cost effective than extension wires, but the maximum temperature allowed is lower, depending on insulation materials in range of 100…200 °C.

Lapp Automaatio's stock items of cables for thermocouples are compensating cables.

What is extension cable (X)?

Extension cable or Extension wire

  • cable type is indicated with the letter X, e.g. for K type thermocouple the cable type is KX.
  • wires are of exactly same materials as thermo wires of the sensor
  • these cables can reach even as high ambient temperature level as the thermocouple does.
