Maximize Intelligence and Minimize Costs at the Distribution Level
To accommodate ever-increasing network strains, the TransformerIQ transformer monitor addresses all potential distribution transformer failure modes and detects early warning signs of asset deterioration. It monitors parameters that address cooling efficiency, insulation aging, dynamic loading, capacity optimization, fault current and voltage abnormalities. Multiple models accommodate all distribution transformer monitoring needs, including padmounts and poletops:
Small Power Transformer Monitoring
Network Vault Monitoring
Padmount Transformer Monitoring
Residential Transformer Monitoring
Gain operational information to help you:
Quickly identify faults- Monitor asset condition
- Diagnose and resolve voltage problems
- Perform power factor correction
- Optimize conservation voltage reduction
- Smooth the introduction of renewables onto the grid
Improve outage management and pre-empt customer issues as you shorten fault isolation time, and set transformer alarms for temperature, overload, and voltage sag/swell.
Improve revenue protection by detecting signs of illegal activity using abnormal load patterns, or reconciling meters against TransformerIQ’s kWHr readings.
Endure the rigors of harsh distribution applications. TransformerIQ is resistant to UV exposure and harsh weather, and is tamper-resistant to help ensure its longevity. Upgradeable firmware guarantees that you always have the most up-to-date configuration. It’s designed to last as long as the transformer it monitors.
Case Study: A part of its smart grid program, a large southeastern utility used TransformerIQ to monitor its fleet of vault transformers (pdf) serving critical customers.

Making the Smart Grid Practical and Cost-effective
An essential tool for gaining transparency and maximizing asset life, in 2012 TransformerIQ will also bring smart grid demand side tasks within reach—without rip and-replace or breaking the bank:
- Issue commands for system level load reduction
- View reports of loads curtailed after command
- Identify loads available for curtailment
- Enable intelligent load shedding (prioritize more heavily loaded transformers)
- Provide customer Web portals for users to monitor load curtailment history, view savings, or opt out
