Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM
Breakthrough monitoring solution for power and distribution transformers
As electrification demand grows and transformer loads increase, securing peak reliability and availability is simpler than ever. TRAFCOM’s universal, noninvasive sensor—compatible with any dry or oil-filled power or distribution transformer—is applied magnetically, so there’s minimal downtime. Within 10 minutes of installation and commissioning, you’ll have continuous real-time data, predictive maintenance insights, and early fault detection to maximize uptime. The TRAFCOM sensor comprises an antenna, sensor and gateway, battery package, or power supply.
