Traction transformer is a vital component of a rolling stock. It is an integral part of an electric traction system in the vehicle and helps in the smooth movement of motors used in such as locomotives, high-speed trains, and trams. Owing to their applications, the stresses on traction transformers are high and needs to be considered while designing and deployment. Additional considerations include space and vibration. Traction systems can be broadly segmented into: AC systems and DC systems with majorly used systems are: 25 kV AC 50 Hz, 15 kV AC 16 2/3 Hz, 3 kV DC, 1.5 kV DC, and 1.2 kV DC.
