The minimum required loop voltage depends on the voltage needed to drive 20ma (or 21.5mA if fail-safe high is used) through the total loop resistance.

Even if the power supply voltage sags/drops slightly, it is still possible that the loop will function properly, because it depends on the actual loop resistances and the lift-off voltage required by the transmitter

If there is not sufficient loop voltage, it will become apparent when the transmitter fails to go above a certain milliamp output, because there is insufficient voltage to drive more current through the loop's total resistance.

In some cases of low loop voltage, a field transmitter will cycle on and off, re-initializing each time it fails to push sufficient current because it is voltage-starved.

If the loop wiring is sized properly, then a voltage drop is likely due to
- a bad connection in junction box
- in some cases a ground loop from damaged wire insulation
- adding too many additional loads - more transmitters than the power supply is rated for
- failing power supply
- adding another device in series in the loop, like an indicator, recorder, or I/O module input that pushes the total loop resistance too high. Carl Ellis

When doing a liquid seal on a differential flow transmitter , most of the time the sealing liquid will be heavier then the process fluid. For wich application will the sealing liquid be lighter than the process fluid if transmitter is mounted below the process line.
