  Re: why does a transmitter o/o signal starts from 3-15psi or 4- 20mA?
Answer
# 1
This is Live zero concept. In case of airsupply failure or
Current loop failure the Control equipment (DCS/PLC) senses
below 3.5mA, considered as Loop Open circuit.

Answer

bcz 4 ma is the amount of current that occurs when there is 
no input to the transmistter and coresponding pressure is 
3psi.this is called as live zero concept.so by using thus 
we can detect error easily .thats why we usese this value.

Answer
# 5
4-20mA is because the least power consumption range with 
linearity and to detect even when signal line opens

3-15psi is because of the minimum linear range for which 
the control valve will respond to pneumatic signal

these are standared things. its nothing but a i to p 
converter. for 4 ma it will convert 3 psi and for 20 ma it 
has 15 psi.

Why not more than 20ma??
 More than 20ma continuously for 20Sec will make your heart 
to malfunction.
