Transformer stations require continuous attention.
Transformer stations deserve continuous attention, even when no one's watching!
Transformer stations are the heart of energy supply within many organizations. They are often hidden away in a corner of the premises, working day and night, and only become visible when something goes wrong: an overload, an oil leak, a cable that becomes too hot and develops smoke, or in the worst case… a fire.
Traditionally, we rely on periodic inspections and fault reports after the fact. But in a world increasingly dependent on stable energy, that is no longer enough. The demand for continuous monitoring is growing out of continuity and safety needs.
That's why we developed the AssetGuard Trafo: a smart all-in-one solution that monitors transformer stations in real time and reports anomalies before they escalate.
What makes AssetGuard Trafo different?
While smart meters primarily collect energy data, the AssetGuard Trafo focuses on the condition of the station itself. In practice, this means 24/7 insight into both the electrical behavior of the transformer and the environmental risks that affect safety and lifespan.
The AssetGuard Trafo continuously reads the voltage and current of all three phases and immediately detects if something abnormal occurs. Consider voltage deviations, overloads, imbalances, and ground faults, all phenomena that can eventually lead to serious damage. By combining this information with trend data, the operator also gains control over the wear and aging of the installation.
But a transformer station faces more risks than just electrical load. That’s why the AssetGuard Trafo supports a series of smart sensors that provide early warnings for smoke development, transformer oil leakage, water ingress, or unsafe environmental conditions. The whole system forms a digital shield around the station: as soon as something changes that requires attention, an alarm is sent.
Who is this valuable for?
Companies that rely on their own transformer station in industries such as industry, logistics, data centers, or the agricultural sector know the impact of outages: production stops, disruptions in the chain, financial damage, and risks to the workplace. An initial warning can already make a world of difference.
For installation managers (IMs), the AssetGuard Trafo also helps with systematically fulfilling the duty of care under NEN 3140/3840. You are no longer alone when you're responsible for safe operations: you have reliable data, substantiated trends, and direct alerts at your fingertips.
Insurers are also showing growing interest. Damage reduction starts with detection before risks escalate. With the AssetGuard Trafo, traceable information is generated that helps to identify risks, intervene specifically, and ensure operational continuity.
Easy to Place. Smart Connectivity. Always Ready.
The AssetGuard Trafo is designed for direct integration into the installation cabinet and is easily mounted on a DIN-rail. It operates with LTE-M wireless connectivity and can be applied in both new and existing stations. Even during power outages, the AssetGuard Trafo remains active long enough to send a final alarm message and safely shut down the system, ensuring nothing is lost.
The real power lies in the whole: energy measurements, sensors, alarm notifications, trend analysis, and reporting come together in one platform that provides the administrator with transparent control without requiring anyone to be physically present.
A New Standard in Transformer Safety
The transition to continuous monitoring goes beyond technology. It is an investment in supply security, because power outages are not an option, in extending lifespan by intervening early when conditions deteriorate, and in cost control by preventing damage and downtime.
The AssetGuard Trafo makes this possible without extensive renovations or major investments. By placing additional sensors, crucial information that was previously hidden becomes visible. This way, the transformer finally gets the attention it deserves!
