Why we use 4 to 20 mA, (This is International Standard)
instaed of this can we use 4-16, or 4-24 or 3- 15 or any
other range
Answer Posted / richard marks
the 4mA zero is termed a "live zero". If 0mA was the zero
point there would be no way of telling if the transducer
was reading zero or in a fault condition eg. an open loop.
with a 4mA zero an open loop would drive the indicator eg.
a recorder into a minus figure (-25%). The 4 - 20mA scale
is to give a calibration points for 0-25-50-75-100%.
Because the start point is 4 the steps are 4mA.
