Just like I expected, the crimped connection adds no additional resistance. And yes I agree with you that the crimped connection heats up slower because of the additional metal that has to be heated.
I use both types of connections. Wago is a detachable one. It’s very fast and convenient. The crimped sleeve is a non-detachable one. I use crimping where there is no access to check the contacts or where the client wants something very reliable. Thanks for watching. I wonder if you use these connections? Maybe others?
You should put the WAGO in a shrink tube and then attach the temperature sensor to the Outside of the shrink tube. Then you have the same conditions as with the crimp connection.
Thank you for the comment! Yes, the sensor on the Wago and the sleeve are positioned differently. In this test, this is just additional information! The main temperature for comparison is at point 2, which is fixed on the same wire but with different connections. No matter how I attach the sensors to the Wago or the sleeve, at point 2, the temperature is higher with the Wago, and with crimped, it's even lower than in the intact(solid) wire.
I also feel like this wasn't a completely fair test. With the crimped test, you heat shrinked the connector first, but with the wago, you put the temperature probe directly onto the busbar of the wago?? Put the same heat shrink over your temperature probe as you did with the crimmped connection, then put the probe into the wago if that makes sense? The black heat tube is acting as a heat sync, which i personally feel will give a 2-3°c heat loss. 👌

@ryanallen3704 Regarding inserting the sensor wrapped in heat shrink, it really doesn't make sense. It's more reasonable to connect the sensor under the black heat shrink. I'm not sure if there will be a 2-3 degree difference there. It needs to be tested.
Very very interesting video idea and super interesting results.
Thanks for comment! I'm glad you found it interesting!

Hi! Thanks for comment! I was curious to test this. But conducting many tests in a row is a bit exhausting )
@@ElectroTest_1 There is no need to hurry. Just do it when you have time :)
