By integrating an efficient cooling system, Hitachi Energy significantly reduces installation complexity for train manufacturers while retaining the benefits of dry-type transformers.

Key Points: 
  • By integrating an efficient cooling system, Hitachi Energy significantly reduces installation complexity for train manufacturers while retaining the benefits of dry-type transformers.
  • In 2018, Hitachi Energy officially launched its flagship dry-type traction transformer: RESIBLOC Rail with voltages up to 15 kV.
  • Hitachi Energy has now further enhanced the capabilities of this technology and is introducing RESIBLOC Rail up to 25 kV with integrated cooling system.
  • 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.
