Zurich, SWITZERLAND - The traction transformer comes with a factory-fitted cooling system that is integrated with the design of the traction transformer.
Hitachi Energy has announced the launch of its innovative oil-free traction transformer, with an integrated cooling system and voltages up to 25-kilovolt (kV), at InnoTrans, the international trade fair for rail transportation at the Berlin Messe in Germany.
According to Hitachi Energy, this traction transformer comes with a factory-fitted cooling system that is integrated with the design of the traction transformer, thus offering a never-before possibility of a plug-and-play solution of dry-type traction transformer to the customer.
According to the company, the plug-and-play and oil-free traction transformer is a result of Hitachi Energy’s deep commitment to innovation to offer substantially lower operating costs with lesser energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while coupled with low asset maintenance.
“Dry-type transformers offer unmatched protection to people, property and the surrounding environment,” said Bruno Melles, Managing Director of Transformers Business Unit at Hitachi Energy.
