A temperature sensing assembly includes a sheath defining an interior space, a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor has first and second conductors extending within the interior space of the sheath and joined at a first junction point. The first conductor is constructed of a first material and the second conductor is constructed of a second material that is different than the second material. The second temperature sensor has third and fourth conductors extending within the interior space of the sheath and joined at a second junction point. The third conductor is constructed of a third material and the fourth conductor is constructed of a fourth material that is different than the fourth material. The first material is different than each of the third and fourth materials. The first junction point is adjacent to the second junction point.

A temperature sensing assembly includes first and second temperature sensors disposed within an elongate mineral insulated conductive sheath. A junction point of the first temperature sensor is electrically connected to the conductive sheath. The second temperature sensor is electrically isolated from the conductive sheath. Measurements obtained from the electrically isolated temperature sensor can be used to test insulation resistance of the assembly or temperature indications from the electrically isolated temperature sensor can be compared to measurements taken from the electrically connected junction point to take a variety of corrective actions during use of the temperature sensing assembly, such as adjusting the installation of the assembly or applying correction factors to measurements obtained from one of the temperature sensors.
