There are several differences between Control cables and
signal cables...
1. Physical Construction wise, 2. Purpose and usage, 3.
Applications etc.
Above all answers are mostly right but something to be
added. The basic is nature of cable.
Both the cables carries Current and Voltages at different
levels.
Signal can be voltage mesured or current measured, 0-5
volts, 1-5 volts, 0-10 volts, 0-50 volts, milli vlolts T/C,
resistance (RTD) etc (with a current carrier say few mill
ams to amps), 4-20 ma (with volage carriers), freequency
dominated (Pick ups) with both current and voltage
carriers. Ie, to note one of this components is fixed and
others will vary acc to the change in the measured
parameter or demand parameter.
Control cables are mostly Voltage driven with current
carries (usually several amps)and fixed freequencies (24v,
110, Ac, DC). Ther will be no change usually either in
voltage, current & freequency. exept zero level to rated
level. like on-off conrtol vales positions. But not 3 phase
and 440 volts are control cables they come in power cables
& high voltage categories.

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
Why 4-20 amps is being used in instruments? Why cant we use any other range instead of 4-20 amps? Why only 4 amps is taken as lower limit and why 20 amps is taken as the higher limit?
