why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal

Answer Posted / swagat pundpal

For detecting open loop we need non zero current ie "live zero".
For transmitters min 3mA current is needed to turn it ON.
so 3mA + safety factor (1mA) =4mA

Within 4-20mA range, get good linearity, also one more reason is if more than 25mA current flows through human heart hi dies so safety point of view 20mA.

Is This Answer Correct ?    1 Yes 1 No
