ACT (RS) ABB Loco (English) (10. MAIN TRANSFORMER )

Main Transformer 

General: 25 KV, 1-phase, AC Supply is taken from OHE catenary/ contact wire through pantograph, roof equipment and VCB (DJ). The same supply is fed to charge the “ parallel induction transformer” where it is stepped down to different operating voltage. .

The tank is filled with transformer oil: 

• In order to increase the insulation strength and 
• So that the arising heat loss can be dissipated through the circulating oil 

The two parallel oil circuits with pumps and heat exchangers are provided 

A spy glass is provided in each machine room to check the oil level of transformer oil. 

There are 3 secondary winding: 

a.Convertor secondary winding/Traction winding(4 nos.) 

b.Aux. Convertor secondary windings.(1 no.) 

c.Harmonic filter secondary winding.(1 no.)
