Over the past decades, transformers have been used in railway traction, as it was considered to be the most prominent alternative to the conventional fossil-fuel-based traction systems. Today, it is one of the most vital components of an electric traction system as it feeds power at safe voltages to essential train functions like traction, lighting, heating and ventilation, passenger information, brakes, signalling and communication. Traditionally made of iron and copper, these transformers ... Read more
Traction transformer is an electrical device which is used in designing and manufacturing of railway system. It transfers the energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. It substituted the traction system run by fossil fuels years ago. It acts as an integral part of electric traction system. In terms of technology traction system is divided two major groups, DC (direct current) systems and AC (alternative current) systems.
Traction transformer market is gaining precedence owing to its importance as a component that is designed to transform power from the locomotives and delivered to the electric motors. On this note, Market Research Future reveals a study that entails, the global traction transformer market can experience a 5.00% CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2023). The study also covers drivers of the said market and segments in ... Read more
