INCON 1250B

The INCON® 1250B is a versatile programmable position monitor. Its main application is for Transformer LTC position monitoring, but its non-linear conversion table gives it the ability to convert non-linear rotary motion into a linear scale for additional applications.

THE UTILITY INDUSTRY'S STANDARD

With over 40 years of proven service in over 33,000 utility transformers around the globe, the 1250-LTC does so much more than just monitor tap position. It is a vital tool that utilities use to predict transformer maintenance and prevent the failure of their LTC’s.
