Power and distribution transformers are among the most critical and valuable assets in industrial facilities and power distribution networks. By observing the state of the equipment in real time, operators can spot problems early, plan technical maintenance that is based on work and exploitation characteristics, as well as extend its life while at the same time extending the reliability of the network.

"ABB’s digital solutions enable 24/7 monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime, extending asset life, and lowering operating costs. Our advanced smart systems optimize equipment performance, process reliability, and overall plant efficiency," ABB Bulgaria told Engineer.bg.

ABB Ability™ Uptime360 for transformers (powered by OKTO GRID) is a platform for controlling electrical assets in real time, meant for power and distribution transformers from every type and age. By continuously monitoring sound, vibrations, temperature, the asset’s magnetic field, the system sends early warnings for ongoing damages and helps with maintenance, based on the actual state of the equipment without needing to stop operations.

ABB Uptime360 Monitoring is a system for monitoring electrical energy assets, which provides online information in real time regarding the condition of the equipment. By turning indicators into practical and appliable data, the platform helps diagnose potential damages, taking informed decision and maintaining effective and reliable operations throughout the equipment’s life cycle.

ABB diagnostic solutions is another instrument for optimizing control and maintenance of electrical energy assets, by using digital concentrators and sensors for gathering data from assets with low and medium voltage, as well as the transformers.
