Design of 4MVA superconducting traction transformer for rolling stock

Last updated on 05 April 2013 3:49

We are studying the application of high Tc superconducting wire to the main transformer for rolling stock. Its merits are lightweight and high efficiency. This time we have made a design study for a Shinkansen high speed EMUs. As a result, the efficiency of superconducting transformer will be improved to...
