What methods can improve the energy efficiency of a traction transformer?

Improving energy efficiency can be achieved by using high-quality core materials with low hysteresis and eddy current losses, such as amorphous metals. Optimizing the design of windings to reduce resistive losses and using better insulation materials to allow higher operating temperatures without degradation can also help. Implementing advanced cooling systems enhances thermal performance, reducing losses associated with overheating. Regular maintenance ensures components operate efficiently. Additionally, employing real-time monitoring and control systems can optimize transformer operation under varying load conditions.
