My rtd working well at the same time r/i converter is not working properly.when power is given to rtd..it is giving 30mA and getting 2.4 mA if i remove the compensate leads No matter how many ohms.why it is happening like so?what is the solution?rtd range-0-200deg c& 4-20 mA o/p.please give me solutiin anyone......

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

Any 2 wire, loop powered 4-20mA transmitter that puts out
30mA is broken. The only transmitter that puts out 30mA is
a legacy 10-50mA transmitter from 20-30 years ago.

While the upper end of the 4-20mA signal range is 20.0mA,
most 2 wire, loop powered transmitters allow for some slight
signal over-range, typically 20.5mA.

NAMUR standards use 21.0 mA to signal a fault or failure
mode. Other vendors use other values, 20.8mA, 21.2mA or
some value in the range of 21mA. But no vendor uses 30mA
as a fault mode.

The transmitter is broken or dysfunctional.
