Transformer monitoring requires a robust network and the right sensor

The UbiGrid DTM+ can also help the utility identify transformers that may fail soon and replace them before they cause an outage.

Much has changed to elevate the critical importance of real-time monitoring of distribution system transformers. Perhaps the biggest change comes from the fact that countries are depending on increased electrification to achieve ambitious decarbonization goals.

“Factoring in the increasing stress on distribution transformers with the increased demand for electricity, demand for transformers is at an all-time high. But supply chain issues are making it hard to get new transformers.”
– Charlie Nobles, vice president of sales for Ubicquia

This eBook looks at the challenges, why smart meters are not enough, and the requirements of a solution built for a changing grid.
