Hi ,I have a Voltage sensor outputting 4/20ma signal . Its to be placed inside panel box. My meter is to be placed 3meters away from the sensor/panelbox. I need to know;
1) Should I place a shielded cable and drop 4/20ma by 250E resistor and feed it to ADC of MCU directly .
2) Do I require expensive Instrumentation amplifier solution? BUT the distance of signal travel is too less .
4) Should I use a sensor with 0~5V output directly with shielded cables.
Please note around the process , I could see alternator and other DC motors (Big one in about 100KW)operating .
Expert advice is most desirable . Rgds
