ABB Offers the Highest Level of Safety and Efficiency with RESIBLOC® Rail

Such transformers feed power into basic train functions such as traction, lighting, heating and ventilation, brakes, signaling and communication. Traction transformers are an important link in the traction chain, train performance and operator services. ABB's innovative oil-free RESIBLOC® technology uses epoxy insulation and fiberglass to provide unmatched mechanical strength. The transformer can operate in the harshest conditions, enabling operators to increase safety and energy and eco-efficiency.

The oil-free transformer achieves a record efficiency rate of 97 percent. Compared to conventional transformers, it can reduce overall operational energy costs by up to 10 percent.

Originally developed by ABB to eliminate the risk of fire and improve safety for use in harsh conditions, the oil-free RESIBLOC® technology is successfully used in marine vessels, offshore oil and gas installations, underground mining and many other applications. extreme environments. Now for the first time it was introduced for rail transport. The innovative technology also eliminates the risk of oil spills and leaks, reduces the need for maintenance and ensures safe and easy recycling of materials.

"This is another example of ABB's commitment to providing sustainable mobility solutions and helping to manage the world without consuming it."
