All components in a transformer have the potential to work more efficiently, conserve resources and operate more independently. To achieve this, they must be durable and low maintenance. Our on-load tap-changers have been such since their introduction because these properties are part of our DNA. However, because we do not rest on our laurels when it comes to quality, we put a lot of time and passion into continuously improving our range and developing innovations for the energy industry.

As "THE POWER BEHIND POWER", we actively contribute to reducing the CO₂ footprint - wherever we provide components or support asset management through our services. Our focus is just as much on maintaining existing equipment through retrofit-capable solutions as it is on developing new technologies to digitalize entire fleets. And because every system ages, our products are processed in such a way that our customers can have them easily and almost completely recycled at the end of their life cycle in line with the circular economy.

The increasing feed-in of volatile, renewable energy and the shutdown of voltage-regulating fossil-fuel power plants are placing an enormous strain on the existing grid infrastructure. At the same time, some of the operating equipment is reaching critical points in its life cycle and will soon need to be replaced. Added to this is the shortage of skilled workers and the loss of expertise due to generational change.

Digitalization can help to ensure that existing and new equipment can handle the rapidly changing requirements. For example, digitized transformers can be monitored much more precisely, even from a distance, which makes it easier for asset management to control maintenance work, and saves resources as service personnel do not have to travel to the transformer for every little action. The ongoing status analyses are also more accurate and the action recommendations more precise than for transformers without digitalization.
