ABB has manufactured transformers for various industrial and commercial facilities across North America for decades. Many of these facilities now face the challenge of replacing their aging ABB transformers as these units reach the end of their operational lifespan. As these units age, they commonly develop issues with deteriorating insulation or decreasing operational efficiency.
When your ABB transformer begins showing signs of decline, ELSCO Transformers offers superior replacement solutions that deliver exceptional reliability and uptime.
Do You Need to Replace Your ABB Dry Type Transformer?
The typical lifespan of an ABB transformer is at least 20 years, although some units may last longer or shorter depending on the accuracy and frequency of the maintenance. Darkened insulation, unusual vibrations, odd noises, unpleasant odors and similar signs often indicate that these units have reached the end of their service life. Frequent issues with overheating, electrical isolation or voltage fluctuations affecting insulation performance also suggest replacement may be necessary.
Why Retrofit a New ELSCO Unit to Replace Your ABB Dry Type Transformer?
Replacing your aging ABB transformer with an ELSCO retrofit offers many benefits over choosing a standard replacement unit. Our ABB transformer retrofits will precisely match your existing setup, eliminating the need for costly site modifications or connection reworks.
Our tailored design will have the same relative dimensional specifications while using premium-grade materials and ELSCO’s advanced manufacturing technology. These retrofits significantly reduce installation complexity and help minimize the downtime that often comes with many transformer replacements.
