Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has launched a new traction transformer designed to reduce the weight of on-board components and ensure more energy-efficient rail networks, according to the manufacturer statement.
Researchers at the Switzerland’s Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have found a way of looking inside the iron core of transformers, a significant step towards understanding how transformers work today and in the development of more efficient transformers in the future.
ABB is delivering a range of high-efficiency transformer products for the world’s most energy-efficient pulp mill, located in Äänekoski, central Finland.
