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

*Also, since this is linear region
*Not possible to cause spark
*Since it is a current signal we can transmit it into long
distance.
*Suppose if the instrument is dead we can identify it.

Answer / jayaraj

1}///in earlier days we had used BJT transister in signal
conditioning circuits for amplification purposes so in BJT
transfer characteristics 4 to 20 milli amps is a linear
region,....but now-a-days we re using cmos only.... as a
convention only we are following this 4-20 range
2}///another reason...for not using 0 milli amp
coz if we use like that we cannot distinguish between true
signal zero and dead zero(break in wires)

Answer / 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

Answer / abhijith

in 4-20ma we can easily check the zero and wire breaking in
transmitter. Analog card accept 1-5v dc supply. thatsy V-IR

I=V/R
V=1V R=250OHMS

1/250 = 4MA

V=2V THEN I=2/250 = 8MA

V=3V THEN I=3/250 =12MA

V=4V THEN I= 4/250 =16MA

V=5V THEN I=5/250 = 20MA.

Live zero and minimum current required to keep alive the tx

Answer / suresh nagdeo

another reason from starting current from 4 ma is between two cables maximum induced current is always below 4 ma. if electrical and instrumentation cables running together this type problems arised.

My question may be very basic or childish but this question still persists in me, someone plz help me 1.why do we go for differential equations to analyze a system? 2.why do we solve it using matrices, is there any specific reason for using matrices other than the stories like it is simple,faster etc.
