High Accuracy Analogue
Transducers

Improving competitiveness and performance is

key to any business. New solutions must be
developed to optimise the assets, benefit from the
latest technology capabilities and adapt to the
rapidly changing environment.
T&D offers complete solutions for the entire
energy chain, from the primary equipment up to
the market management software.

The ISTAT I300 range of analogue transducers is

designed to meet the world market requirements
of high accuracy and reliability with a stable
output.
Available in two compact case sizes of 55mm and
150mm wide, the transducers are supplied to
meet the customers precise needs.

APPLICATIONS

Applications can be found in substations of electrical utilities and industry, for

interfacing with SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), building
management systems, process control equipment and switchboard
instrumentation.

ISTAT I300 analogue transducers provide local and remote indication for precision
electrical measurement and control when used with instruments, data loggers
and SCADA systems.
