The TOR-5 traction transformers monitoring system is a modern solution that has the potential to improve the reliability and safety of electric traction in railway transport. It is understood that traction transformers are subjected to significant loads, operate in harsh weather conditions and provide continuous power supply for locomotives and other vehicles. It is important to note that any failure in their operation could potentially result in a traffic stop or even an emergency. The TOR-5 system is designed to continuously monitor key indicators of the transformer’s condition, including temperature, humidity, gas levels in the oil, load and other critical parameters. It is my understanding that the data is collected in real time, analysed and transmitted to the central control panel or control room. In the event of an abnormality, the system has been designed to trigger an alarm, which allows technicians to respond quickly and prevent breakdowns. It is thought that the use of TOR-5 has the potential to contribute to accident prevention, cost reduction in maintenance, prolongation of transformer service life and enhancement of power supply stability on the railway.
