What advantages does a high-efficiency traction transformer offer?

A high-efficiency traction transformer reduces energy losses during voltage conversion, leading to lower operating costs and improved environmental performance due to decreased waste heat and emissions from power generation. It enhances reliability by operating cooler and reducing thermal stress on components. This can result in longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements. High efficiency also allows for more compact designs, saving space and weight in locomotives. Additionally, it contributes to the overall efficiency of the railway system, making it more competitive and sustainable.
