four-arm measuring bridge intended to measure the value of a resistor which forms one of the arms, the other three arms being resistors, at least one of which is adjustable
six-arm measuring bridge intended to measure the value of a four-terminal resistor by comparison with a four-terminal standard resistor, all of the arms being resistors, at least one of which is adjustable
alternating current measuring bridge intended to measure impedances, in which at least two arms consist of tapped windings on a transformer, making use of the known ratios of the turns and which can therefore have fixed-value standards
Mõõtesilla abil võib lisaks takistusele mõõta ka muid suurusi, olenevalt silla õlgades kasutatavate vooluahela elementide tüübist, st et mõõtesilla abil on võimalik mõõta ka induktiivsust, mahtuvust ja sagedust, kasutades induktiivsuse ja mahtuvuse õiget kombinatsiooni ja paigutust silla õlgades.
