Stop guessing when to service your transformers. See exactly when they need attention.
Real-time monitoring detects problems early so you can act on your terms — not under emergency pressure.
01 What TRAFCOM does: Reduce unplanned downtime
<p>Most failures don’t happen without warning. The signals are always there. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring detects those early indicators—so issues can be addressed long before they become outages.</p>02 How you benefit from it: Lower costs and operational risks
<p>Planned maintenance costs 4 - 10 times less than emergency response. Move from reactive to condition‑based management—investing in scheduled interventions rather than crisis response.</p>03 Who its for: Built for leaders who safeguard uptime and reliability
<p>Instead of guessing when to inspect, your team gets the right data at the right time, with expert-backed recommendations. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM turns uncertainty into a prioritized action list, backed by ABB Care Services Service Level Agreements.</p>04 How it works: Full asset transparency
<p>When a transformer fails in a hospital, airport, or data center, the question isn't just "what went wrong?" It's "what did you do to prevent it?" ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM gives you a documented monitoring history that shows you were on top of it.</p>15 Minutes

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.
