Traction transformers – "Tractronic®"

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.

On-board Tractronic® traction transformers turn energy into speed that moves passengers and freight. As part of the traction chain, they are crucial to the performance of train and operator services. Siemens Energy designs and builds Tractronic® traction transformers in different specification profiles: Frequency, rating and voltage; Required dimensions and weights; Losses and impedance voltage characteristics; Operational cycles and frequency response behavior; Environmental requirements.

Siemens Energy is closely monitoring the development of transformer regulations worldwide e.g. European Eco Design Directive and US DOE rules. Siemens Energy adheres to the rules and regulations communicated e.g. in US and Europe and complies with all relevant requirements for every transformer product delivered. As a trustful and responsible partner Siemens Energy understands the importance of these regulations and will continue to monitor potential future requirements. We will continue to adapt and comply with all relevant regulatory changes.
