The temperature dependencies of the electrical resistance of low-dimensional NbSe$_3$- and NbSe$_2$-single crystals were investigated in the range of 300-540 K. Measurements of resistance were produced along the chains for quasi-one-dimensional NbSe$_3$-single crystal and along the layer for quasi-two-dimensional NbSe$_2$-single crystal. On the temperature dependencies the exponential deviations from linear dependencies were observed. We suppose that such deviations of resistance are connected with the contribution of selenium equilibrium vacancies.
