Over many years, a conscious emphasis on technical development, quality assurance and environmental adaptation has given us a leading position in the market and our products are used in some of the most demanding applications.

Transformers and inductors for rolling stock

Our transformers and inductors are used in many critical and demanding applications such as main converters, auxiliary converters and electric cabinet assemblies. They are mounted on the roof, under the train, inside converter enclosures, in electric cabinets or on PCBs.

The products range from 1VA to 1MVA with a system voltage up to 3kV. Our product range includes:

DC line filter inductor, semishielded.
Assembly of two DC line filter inductors, iron core.
Three-phase transformer for auxiliary converters.
  • HF inductors – 25kHz
  • HF transformers – 15kHz
  • DC line filter inductors
  • Three-phase filter inductors with HF harmonics(typical 1.5kHz)
  • Harmonics filters
  • Mono and three-phase transformers
  • Air coils
  • Transformers with integrated inductor
  • Natural air / forced air / water cooled

Global rail inductor production

We aim to serve our customers globally through our sales and development offices in Sweden, Italy and China.
