Why we use 4 to 20 mA, (This is International Standard)
instaed of this can we use 4-16, or 4-24 or 3- 15 or any
other range

Answer Posted / nagarajan.p

First the question is why can't we use 3~15mA or other
range, here also we can check live zero and also we can go
step current like 3,6,9,12,15(i.e 0%,25%,50%,75%,100%).ok
The reason is the transmitter voltage is 24Vdc , here we
can load max of 600 ohms, for this voltage & load better
range is 4~20.
Why 4 ~ 20 is better since we can convert easily 1~5Vdc by
put 250 ohms.All the controllers and DCS , PLCs are operated
by the input of 1~5Vdc (external or Internal convertion)
