Are your Transformers telling you everything?
Know what your transformers are really doing: ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM with PowerCare Service Level Agreements gives operations managers, facility managers, and plant managers early signals, expert interpretation, and planned actions that help reduce unplanned downtime.
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
Most failures don’t happen without warning. The signals are always there. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring detects early indicators—so issues can be addressed long before they lead to outages.
02 How you benefit from it:
Lower costs and operational risks
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.
03 Who's it for:
Built for leaders who safeguard uptime and reliability
Instead of guessing when to inspect, your team gets the right data at the right time, backed by experts. ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM turns uncertainty into a prioritized action list, backed by ABB Care Services Service Level Agreements.
04 How it works:
Full asset
transparency
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.
15 Minutes
non-invasive installation. On any transformer.
4 to 10 Times

ABB Transformer Condition Monitoring - TRAFCOM. FAQs
The questions your team is already asking — answered.
1
"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.
2
"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.
3
"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. 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.
