ABB Traction Transformers (15–25 kV AC)

0 customer reviews

🧭 Overview

ABB Traction Transformers are built to meet the rigorous demands of railway electrification, delivering safe and efficient power conversion for electric locomotives, EMUs (Electric Multiple Units), and high-speed trains. Designed to operate in 15 kV to 25 kV AC overhead systems, these transformers ensure energy efficiency, low noise, and long life cycles even in extreme conditions.

With lightweight, compact, and vibration-resistant designs, ABB’s traction transformers are ideal for both onboard and trackside railway applications. They play a key role in reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency across modern transportation networks.
