I
Hello everybody,
I am about to make my first own project, the instruments and sensors are far, about 800 meters from the control room (DCS control system).
We are dealing with American system "AWG", usually i use #18 AWG or #16 AWG wire size for the instruments in the range of 100-200 meters, but in case of 800 meters iI think to go for the 14 AWG to decrease the voltage drop. Do you think 14 AWG for 4-20 ma flow meter 800 meters far will be ok?
Thank you
