USE OF TRANSFORMERS AND SMOOTHING COILS IN ALTERNATING CURRENT TRACTIVE UNITS

TRANSFORMATEURS ET INDUCTANCES DE LISSAGE POUR VEHICULES MOTEURS A COURANT ALTERNATIF

Transformers have been built for tractive units from the beginning of electric traction. In many instances it is only because of continuous modification of the transformer that new vistas in tractive unit development have been opened up. The authors make particular reference to dimensions of transformers for the supply of static convertors controlled by the network or by pulsing. They also mention the current state of development of traction transformers for 16 Hz 2/3 and 50 Hz, and indicate future trends in this field.
