Transformers for railway

The electric energy for railways is supplied as high voltage to the catenary feeder substations, where the voltage is reduced to a suitable level and fed to the railway catenary conductors to be used by locomotives and trains.

Transformers for marine

The first electric propulsion applications were introduced in the late 1980s and subsequently developed with the implementation of static converters which helped to promote the concept.

Traction transformers

Hitachi ABB Power Grids supplies traction transformers for all applications: high-speed, commuter and regional trains, locomotives, tram-trains and AC metros offering different designs offering different designs in terms of size, weight and power ratings.
