  sir ,
  
  once i was asked in an interview why the industrial standards are 4-20 mA for current , voltage 0-30 V (i am not sure about voltage standard)?
  
  can you please explain this concept
  
  thanks in advance .

  Sub 1W criteria will be met in those condition for sure
  
  And also most electronic Component operate in the 0 to 30 V region with about 20mA current through them

  The advantage of a current loop is that the resistance of the connecting leads especially over long signal transmission lines does not affect analog signals. The electronics will adjust the voltage to ensure that the analog signal retains the accuracy. In an industrial environment with varying electro-magnetic loads, current loops have very good reliability.
  The 4ma zero value has a bonus in that it tells if there is a break in the leads.
  Here is a good article on current loops from National Instruments:

  A voltage analog output has to be used with a high impedance measuring circuit.
  I do not know why 0-30V is specified. If I may hazard a guess the higher voltage is likely to be more accurate than millivolt signals because of lead impedance.
