List any six criteria for selecting a proper transducer for an application.
Criteria for selecting a transducer for an application: 1. Electrical output of transducer (Current/voltage) 2. Range of measurement i.e maximum and minimum values of parameter to be measured. 3. Static operating condition of a transducer. 4. Electrical Noise level. 5. Temperature at which transducer is operating. 6. Dynamic protection housing (IP Protection) 7. Type of mounting required for transducer. 8. Accuracy required. 9. Operating principle suited for application. 10. Sensitivity of transducer. 11. Loading effect. 12. Stability & Reliability of transducer 13. Cost and availability
