Market Overview

Traction transformers are essential components of electric traction systems, which are used to power trains, trams, and other electric vehicles. They convert the high voltage electricity from the overhead power lines to a lower voltage that is suitable for the traction motors.

The traction transformer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.10% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

The many sorts of improvements in various transportation systems, including buses, trains, vehicles, and the most recent motorcycles, might be used for a variety of public commuting, making it simple to commute. The latest generation metros are relatively safe and cost-effective because they operate on pre-defined and pre-specified routes, which eliminates the chance of accidents.

Innovative elements have raised the demand for metros in big or prime cities around the world as a result of this. As a result, the Indian government is implementing generic intercity metro services in key metro and large cities such as Pune, Coimbatore, Surat, Kanpur, Patna, and Guwahati to alleviate traffic congestion and improve basic public transportation.

Traction transformers are mostly utilized at a greater scale in the railway sector to power modern electric locomotives. Traction transformers convert electric power supplied by the main power company to a suitable voltage level for powering the train engine's different traction motors and other important auxiliaries. The basic traction transformer is designed to convert high voltage AC to low voltage DC, which is then sent directly to the rectifier to power the DC traction motors in the center.

Industry News

The Natural Cooling Effilight Railway electrification and the RESIBLOC CRAIL 25 kV are two new traction transformers from Hitachi ABB Power Grids. Both of these devices are based on the company's successful and well-proven platforms, Effilight for liquid-filled traction transformers and RESIBLOC for dry traction transformers. These will assist customers in enhancing reliability and lowering operational costs by providing fresh, added value.
