Traction transformers

Function
Medium-voltage traction transformers play a key role in electric traction power supply systems used in rail transport, such as railways, metro, and trams. Their primary function is the efficient, stable, and safe conversion of electrical energy between the distribution network and traction vehicle power supply systems.

These transformers are designed to operate under conditions of significant load fluctuations, high currents, and dynamic changes in power demand typical for traction systems. They can operate in configurations typical for traction substations, and their design allows integration with rectifier systems and energy recuperation systems. Thanks to their robust construction, high insulation strength, and optimized cooling, they ensure continuous operation even in demanding environmental and temperature conditions.

Benefits

Efficient energy transfer to the traction network with minimal losses
High system safety due to stable operation and overload resistance
Reduced operating costs thanks to high efficiency and low no-load and load losses
Long service life and reliability essential for transport infrastructure
Option to extend functionality with additional features such as temperature sensors, insulation monitoring systems, and enclosures with an increased protection degree
