Study on Resistance of Probe for Solar-Powered Irrigation Device

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel technique using solar power to irrigation was proposed. In order to obtain better sensitivity, small dense probe, single strand copper probe, bifilar winding type probe and rectangular cross section type probe were designed. Through the experiments, the electrical resistance of four kinds of probe structure was determined. Test results show that conductivity of small dense probe is the worst, conductivity of single strand copper probe is better. Graphite content has great influence to probe resistance value, resistance and graphite content in the relationship is not linear.
