Troubleshooting Current Loops with Voltage Measurement
Sometimes ammeter or current measurement with multimeter is unavailable at work locations , we can still perform useful troubleshooting measurements

What are Loop Powered Devices? A lot of loop setups will utilize an external power supply in order to power
The basic layout of every 4-20mA loop consists of a power supply, a transmitter, and passive loop devices. The supply produces the energy to run loop.
4-20 mA Standard 4-20mA has an inherent ‘live zero’. Zero engineering units is 4.0mA, not 0.0mA. 0.0mA indicates an open
4-20mA current-loop circuit have four individual elements: a sensor/transducer, a voltage-to-current converter, loop power supply and a receiver / monitor.
The 4-20 mA current loop is a very robust sensor signaling standard. Current loops are ideal for data transmission because
The most popular form of signal transmission used in modern industrial instrumentation systems is the 4 to 20 mA current signal standard.
