Question why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Question Submitted By :: Abhianv I also faced this Question!! Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer generally in a transister some amount of voltage is required for turning it on. this voltage is the cutin #1
voltage. up to this voltage the exists a nonlinerity in its charecteristics. beyond this cutin voltage the char. of transister is linear. this nonlinear region lies between 04ma,beyond 4ma it linear. this is why 4-20 ma range is used.

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer the signal are transmitted from the field to the controlroom and vseversa through cables. for long #2 transmission the cable resistance increases.thus if 0-10v are transmitted over this long distance,due to the resistance of cable there will be drop in the voltage and the signal received at the controlroom will not be accurate. to overcome this difficulty 4-20ma signal is used for transmission. 5

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer Voltage drops due to Resistance and so we are using 4-20 mA #3 Is This Answer Correct ? 34 Yes 4 No 0

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer If 0-10 mA is used instead of 4-20mA then there will be difficulties in error detection.Such as if there is any #4 0

fault is the transmission lines..we will never know,wheather the indicated 0mA current corresponds to the initial value(calibrated) of the measurement or it is due to fault in transmission lines.

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer #5 4-20mA :1. Easy to find the open circuit. 2. Less noise interference. 3. Current measures remain same in any point of the signal line. 0-10V :This not able to fulfill the above criteria. So that 4-20mA is preferred over 0-10v

41 Yes

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer 0-10V :1. Voltage droup occurs. #6 0

2. Not able to find open circuit(Normally the circuit in open condition o/p is "0", In 0-10V signal level starts from 0V itself, so that can not able to find open circuit easily) 3. Noise interference is high. 4-20mA :1. Easy to find the open circuit(because this signal level starts from 4mA, if the circuit in open the output shows 0mA, so we can find easily the open circuit) . 2. Less noise interference. 3. Current measures remain same in any point of the signal line.

So that 4-20mA is preferred over 0-10v

36 Yes

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer In case of voltage transmission(here 0-10V) 1.there will be voltage drop along the transmission wire. #7
2.if we use 0 volt then we will be unable to find whether the obtained 0 volt output is really the system output or its due to instrument error.So for "live zero" concept we need to give a particular value(other than zero) in the lower range value. 3.Capacitive and magnetic effect due to voltage transmission will be more than that in case of current transmission. 4.2-wire transmission is not compatible with voltage transmission. But in case of 4-20 mA signal the above problems are solved. 1.In series transmission same current flows through the ckt.So no current drop occurs. 2.Here the lower range value is 4 mA.So we can easily detect after looking at the o/p whether the instrument error occurs or not.In case of instrument error zero reading will be shown. 3.2-wire transmission is compatible with it.

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer In industry, the distance from controlroom #8 0
and the field is too long. If we use 0-10v signal

for feedback means voltagedrop will occur because of the resistivity. So, 4-20mA is preferred instand of 0-10v signal.

15 Yes

1 No

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer in 4- 20 we can find if the process variables give zero because zero #9
is indicate 4ma but in 0 - 10 if the process give zero we can not know because the signal also 0v

Is This Answer Correct ?

12 Yes

3 No

Re: why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal Answer 4-20mA can be easily detected for find a minimum and maximum level measurement. in in 0-10 V some noise if we are not # 10

Question what is cavitation ? diff c and c++ During valve sizing from all calculation you got flow coefficient CV 12,than what it means? like for selecting pressure transmitter if your MAWP is 12 bar than you select a capsule of max. 20 bar which cover your mawp 12 in same way for selecting control valve If CV is 12 than how we use it in selecting valve?????? WHAT IS THE DIFF BETWEEN FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY?HOW IT WORKS IN FLAME SCANNER ? How can we say that accuracy of measurement increases by using 3 or 4 wire Asked @

RTD? because for example: If resistance of RTD element is say r ohms and Resistance of the cable from transmitter to RTD is R ohms And if 4 wire RTD is used, ____._____________________ R ohms | |_____._____________________ R ohms / \ / r ohms \ \ | |______.__________________ R Ohms | |_______._________________ R ohms Then the actual resistance measured will be: Total = r + R/2 + R/2 = r +R Ohms Note: r+R instead of r ohms. hence error how the 2.5bar pressure able to control the 40bar steam Thirumalai-Chemicals what is difference between 1/2"NPT & M20 x 1.5 cable gland?
