Great blog John.

I had never encountered a kelvin resistor in my career, so reading about you find and test was very enlightening.

Once again you are sparking my interests in looking into older equipment to see what goodies might lay within.

Well done.

Very good and educational blog John. well done, Now you have the makings of a DC Load or core measurement in the CC side of a PSU

Nice find! But after reading, the four posts are not clear. I see the outer two you put the load and the inside I see the v=ir with a voltage meter?

PS How common are resistors over 1 mega ohm? I may need a few to many for a project I am working on:

Hi John,

Nice find and analysis! At first glance I would have mistaken it for a bridge rectifier.

Also, what a cool idea to have the labels to make it clear what each meter is being used for.

I was looking at prices of some precision resistors last night, for my temperature measurement

project, and finally put just *one* in the basket, hehe.

Excellent blog and demonstration how to use simple equipment to validate the test.
