HOW IT WORKS: THREE SIMPLE STEPS

Install once. Monitor always. Act when it matters.

POWERCARE/SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT ACTIONS: defined response time | planned interventions | fewer emergencies, CONTINUOUS MONITORING: fast, non-invasive install | compatible with any transformer | early signals detected, EXPERT INTERPRETATION: ABB reviews anomalies | false positives removed | clear classifications

"We are now getting uninterrupted real time data on the transformers, which wasn’t possible with visual inspections." Jari-Pekka Korhonen, Operations Manager for HUS Finland

THE QUESTIONS YOUR TEAM IS ALREADY ASKING — ANSWERED.

• "We already run scheduled maintenance intervals — why do we need continuous monitoring on top of that?" Because failures don't wait for your next inspection. Degradation processes — thermal drift, partial discharge, insulation wear — develop silently between scheduled visits. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM monitors your transformers 24/7, so issues are caught early and dealt with on your terms: planned, budgeted, and controlled — not under emergency pressure.
• "Does this require significant IT infrastructure or specialist knowledge to operate?" Not at all. The sensor attaches magnetically in under 15 minutes — no invasive installation required. And you don't need to become a transformer diagnostics expert: ABB's own engineers interpret the data for you, embedded in a formal Service Level Agreement that defines exactly who does what and when. Think of it as a senior transformer specialist permanently watching your assets — without adding a single headcount.
• "What is the actual cost impact — and how do I justify this to management?" Simple: unplanned maintenance costs 4 to 10 times more than a planned intervention. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM reduces unexpected downtime by up to 70% and overall maintenance costs by 20–30%. One avoided emergency event will typically offset the entire investment — multiple times over. The pitch to management isn't a monitoring device. It's buying predictability and eliminating budget surprises.
