And, of course, I doubt any manufacturer would say anything beyond this unless you buy his potentiometers by trucks.
I would tend to agree here - for any product there are some specs that are never divulged in the normal course. This whole requirement arose beacuse I was trying to verify a data acquistion channel meant for a 2 wire loop powered transmitter. In the absence of a calibrator I replaced the transmittter with a combination of 5k/1.5W potentiometer + 1kOhm series resistor. It did the job - quick and dirty - but I was not at ease about the potentiometer when near the 20mA setting. [ loop was powered by a 24V dc source ] Raghu |
