Traction transformers

With over a century of experience in transformer technology, ��˿�� is one of the world’s leading suppliers for customized, state-of-the-art railway transformers. The secret to ��˿�� stellar track record is a refined system of global logistics, internationally binding quality standards, highly trained skilled workers and specialization.

��˿�� can design and customize the cooling unit to suit customer preferences, either integrated in the transformer in the full frame or as a separate component, entirely in accordance with the specific space requirements. Flexibility is also the order of the day when it comes to selecting cooling fluids. We have solutions for all capacity ranges that use oil, silicon, or an ester-based fluid (e.g. MIDEL 7131) that is very kind on the environment.

A modular multisensory system continuously monitors the “health” status of the transformer and modifies operation behavior according to the results of an onboard optimization algorithm. The ��˿�� monitoring system leverages a new generation of sensors. These sensors transmit data to a local, remote or cloud-based control system. After data processing, the actors will – if necessary – receive commands for correcting the operation behavior.

Developed, tested and certified

��˿�� traction transformers are setting standards of quality and versatility around the world.��Close cooperations with international standards committees guarantee the compliance with the specific requirements and standards.

Our railway components comply with all the relevant standards, for example: DIN, EN, IEC, IEEE, ISO, EAC / GOST and ANSI, as well as the current fire protection standard EN 45545. With our certified components, we actively support the worldwide vehicle approval process; hence our traction transformers comply with all relevant standards, for example:

ISO 9001
ISO 14001
ISO 45001
ISO 22163 (IRIS)
Welding qualification EN 15085-2

Tests for maximum reliability and customer satisfaction

��˿�� uses the most advanced and comprehensive routine tests, type evaluations and special tests for maximized product reliability and customer satisfaction. ��˿�� traction transformers are tested essentially in the same way as power transformers to ensure maximum safety and quality. Upon request, tests may be performed at an accredited third-party laboratory.

On-board Tractronic® traction transformers turn energy into speed that moves passengers and freight. As part of the traction chain, they are crucial to the performance of train and operator services. ��˿�� designs and builds Tractronic® traction transformers in different specification profiles: Frequency, rating and voltage; Required dimensions and weights; Losses and impedance voltage characteristics; Operational cycles and frequency response behavior; Environmental requirements.

��˿�� is closely monitoring the development of transformer regulations worldwide e.g. European Eco Design Directive and US DOE rules. ��˿�� adheres to the rules and regulations communicated e.g. in US and Europe and complies with all relevant requirements for every transformer product delivered. As a trustful and responsible partner ��˿�� understands the importance of these regulations and will continue to monitor potential future requirements. We will continue to adapt and comply with all relevant regulatory changes.
