TLM™ – Transformer Lifecycle Management™
Transforming service into reliability.
General Information
- Description
- Strategically increase value.
- Mobile teams, mobile technologies
Power transformers are crucial for ensuring a trouble-free supply of power with no interruptions. As reliable, rugged key components, they are frequently in use for decades at a time – and are thus subject to the unavoidable effects of aging and wear.

How can you plan your expenditures in a targeted way, and systematically control the timing of new investments? How can you avoid unforeseeable outages and minimize planned downtimes? And how can you reduce the impact on the environment while maximizing transformer availability?
The answer to these questions is TLM™ – Transformer Lifecycle Management™ – the service concept from Siemens for all the transformers in your network, regardless of age, manufacturer, or power.

We bring transformer service to you.
Your transformers must do one thing first and foremost – they must operate reliably and without interruption. The TLM™ service concept from Siemens is designed to prevent unplanned downtimes and optimize planned maintenance measures.
We’re aware that you have fewer and increasingly shorter windows of opportunity even for planned service interruptions. Our response is technologies and methods that are as mobile as our experts. From oil-drying systems to high-voltage testing stations, we provide mobile repair workshops to support you on-site.
Mobile teams and technologies are elements that ideally complement the performance spectrum of Siemens’ repair facility – they’re fast, flexible, and can be integrated in your operations.

Maintenance & Lifecycle Extension Products
- Description
- SITRAM® DRY
- SITRAM® REG
- SITRAM® COOL
We’ll get your transformers back in top form – and without service interruptions. Our TLM™ method for extending service life minimizes the unavoidable, undetectable, and ongoing aging process that is taking place inside your transformers.
Our stationary and continuous oil drying systems as well as regeneration of the oil filling are internationally-recognized technologies, and round out our offerings for improving cooling efficiency sealing. These can easily be integrated as retrofit solutions.
The regeneration of the oil filling in particular not only eliminates frequent oil changes, but also offers substantial economic and ecological advantages, as it is performed during normal operations.
See why it is necessary
Learn about the physico-chemical processes that lead to the accumulation of moisture within a transformer and the gradual degradation of the insulation materials.
See how it works
Discover in detail the highly efficient and easily installed solution Siemens has developed to prevent moisture accumulation and extend the lifetime of power transformers.
See what it pays off
Find out how you can easily enhance the reliability of your entire network and protect your valuable transformer assets by the timely application of Siemens SITRAM® DRY.
Why is the oil reclaiming recommendable
Learn more about the ageing processes in the transformer’s insulating system and their possible adverse consequences.
A comparison between oil reclaiming and oil change
Oil reclaiming advantages compared to oil change are presented.
Oil reclaiming advantages compared to oil change are presented
Get to know the most important equipment components and their function. The containers design and the unique safety concept for the transformer oil circulation in bypass modes will be explained in detail.
What are the optimum settings for higher loads and less noise?
Learn more about the relation between higher loads with speed controlled fans and less noise compared to the standard method.
What's happening in your transformer?
Thermal distribution in the transformer and devolopement of hot-spots due to increased flux leakage.
A solution as flexible as its modules
Get to know the different kind of cooling control modules and how the reliability can be increased. Diverse activation options are described due to the transformer's special needs.
SITRAM® COOL contains the engineering for analyzing cooling equipment along with the usual control and program elements. We use speed-controlled fans to minimize noise and to minimize the cooling equipment`s own requirements. And all of this is individually adapted to your transformer.
Thanks to SITRAM COOL:
- you will increase loads by optimizing your cooling equipment
oil can be precooled when peak loads are anticipated - you will optimize the inherent losses of the cooling equipment
- you will reduce noise levels by individually switching cooling units and using speed-controlled fans
- a constant oil temperature reduces the respiration of the transformer
- you will have cooling equipment control, including engineering/retrofitting of the cooling equipment, that is tailored to your needs
