What is a Ni100 sensor ?


The Ni100 is a pure nickel resistance probe, with a nominal resistance of 100 Ω at 0 °C.

Its temperature coefficient (α ≈ 0.00618 °C⁻¹) is higher than that of platinum, giving it superior sensitivity to small thermal variations.

It is an excellent compromise between accuracy, cost, and response speed, particularly for air conditioning systems, ventilation, and surface thermal control applications.

Operating principle


The Ni100 sensor operates based on the variation of the resistivity of pure nickel as a function of temperature.

This relationship is nearly linear between −60 °C and +180 °C :

R(T) = R₀ (1 + αT + βT²)

avec :

  • R₀ = 100 Ω

  • α = 6,18 × 10⁻³

  • β = 1,4 × 10⁻⁵

This simplified equation is sufficient for the majority of HVAC and industrial applications.

Weaknesses

  • 🌡️ Limited measurement range
    → The Ni100 is only usable from −60 °C to +180 °C, less suitable for extreme environments.
  • 🧪 Stability lower than platinum

The Ni100 follows a quadratic relationship between resistance and temperature, described by:

R(T) = R₀ (1 + αT + βT²)

avec :

  • R₀ = 100 Ω

  • α = 6,18 × 10⁻³

  • β = 1,4 × 10⁻⁵

  • (valable entre −60 °C et +180 °C)


🔹 Example 1: calculation of resistance at 100 °C

R(100) = 100 × [1 + 6,18 × 10⁻³ × 100 + 1,4 × 10⁻⁵ × 100²]

R(100) = 100 × (1 + 0,618 + 0,14) = 100 × 1,758 = 175,8 Ω

✅ Result : at 100 °C, the resistance of Ni100 is approximately 175.8 Ω.


🔹 Example 2 : calculating the temperature from a measured resistance

We measure R=140Ω.

What is the corresponding temperature ?

We rearrange the formula :

βT² + αT + (1 − R/R₀) = 0

1,4 × 10⁻⁵ T² + 6,18 × 10⁻³ T + (1 − 140 / 100) = 0

1,4 × 10⁻⁵ T² + 6,18 × 10⁻³ T − 0,4 = 0

T = [−6,18 × 10⁻³ + √((6,18 × 10⁻³)² − 4 × 1,4 × 10⁻⁵ × (−0,4))] / (2 × 1,4 × 10⁻⁵)

T ≈ 61 °C

✅ Result : the corresponding temperature is approximately 61 °C.


🔹 Practical Remarks

  • The Ni100 offers a greater variation in resistance per °C than platinum, which simplifies the R→T conversion.
  • The equation can be implemented directly in a microcontroller without complex functions.
  • Below −60 °C or above +180 °C, the relationship becomes nonlinear → prefer a Pt100.

The Pt200 generates a proportionally higher signal than the Pt100, which allows for reduced excitation current and limits self-heating.

It is perfectly suited for 3 or 4 wire differential configurations.

🔹 Typical assembly components

Stable current source (~0.3 mA)
Provides a constant current
Instrumentation amplifier (INA333, AD8421)
Amplify the tension from the sensor
High-resolution ADC (≥ 16 bits)
Digitize the voltage for the microcontroller

🔹 Functional diagram (ASCII)

+3.3 V / +5 V │ Current source (0.3 mA) │ [ Pt200 ] (2 power wires + 2 measurement wires) │ │ │ │ Amplificateur diff. ───→ ADC haute résolution │ [ Microcontrôleur ] (Calcul T = f(R) + compensation)

🔹 Principe de fonctionnement

1️⃣ Le courant constant traverse le Pt200.

→ À 0 °C : V = 200 Ω × 0,3 mA = 60 mV

→ À 100 °C : V = 277 Ω × 0,3 mA = 83 mV

2️⃣ L’amplificateur différentiel élève le signal (gain ≈ 50 à 100).

→ Sortie typique : 3 à 8 V selon la configuration ADC.

3️⃣ Le microcontrôleur calcule la température via l’équation Callendar–Van Dusen.

🔹 Bonnes pratiques

🧩 Câblage 4 fils recommandé pour éliminer les effets de ligne.

⚡ Réduire le courant d’excitation à 0,3 mA max pour éviter la surchauffe.

💧 Utiliser un boîtier hermétique pour protéger le platine en milieu humide.

🔄 Étalonner régulièrement à 0 °C et 100 °C.

🧲 Filtrer l’entrée de l’amplificateur (RC 1 kΩ / 100 nF) pour rejeter le bruit industriel.
