Working Principle, explained as example for a Pt100:
A Pt100 temperature sensor is a resistance sensor (Resistance Temperature Detector, RTD) made of platinum. It has a typical resistance of 100 Ω at 0°C. If the Pt100 is connected to power, a voltage arises. By measuring this voltage, the resistance and following the temperature can be measured. The resistance of a Pt100 changes almost linearly with the temperature, Pt100 can usually measure temperatures up to 850°C.
