Why we use 4 - 20 ma?

Answer Posted / nileshkumar

1) 4 - 2 ma signal can transmited long distance without
signal drop in cable.

2) To operate a Digital signal we need 1-5Vdc. For Analog
Instruments we are using 250 ohms as load resistance. When
we converting this signal into current By Ohm's
Law V=IR
I=V/R
Put, V=1V Then I=1/250=4mA
Put, V=2V Then I=2/250=8mA
Put, V=3V Then I=3/250=12mA
Put, V=4V Then I=4/250=16mA
Put, V=5V Then I=5/250=20mA
*when two connection short no sparking.
*Since it is a current signal we can transmit it into long
distance.
*Suppose if the instrument is dead we can identify it.
