The broken wire you said may be divided into two cases, one is a thermocouple, a thermocouple is a temperature sensor composed of two different materials, if the two wires are disconnected, it becomes two separate materials, electrons can not flow naturally no current generation, the second is the temperature sensor wire disconnected, in this case, it is unable to form a loop, the current can not be formed, so, In either case, there is no current.
