Traction Transformers – "Tractronic®"
The perfect transformer for every vehicle
Siemens Energy designs and manufactures Tractronic® traction transformers for rail operators and train manufacturers worldwide, that increase train efficiency and performance, handle maximum ratings in a minimum of space, serve local content demands for worldwide applications, and ensure maximum reliability and flexibility.
We cover every of your preference
With over a century of experience in transformer technology, Siemens Energy is one of the world’s leading suppliers for customized, state-of-the-art railway transformers. The secret to Siemens Energy stellar track record is a refined system of global logistics, internationally binding quality standards, highly trained skilled workers and specialization.Compact, light and efficient
Siemens Energy 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.
Leveraging data for maximum transformer performance
Siemens Energy transformers offers the opportunity to track the transformers in operation. Operators can not only monitor but optimize transformer performance. Monitoring and data analysis are the important factors for digitalization of traction transformer for rollingstock applications.
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 Siemens Energy 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.
