Generators for railway operations

In addition to electrically excited synchronous generators, we also develop and supply asynchronous generators and permanent-magnet synchronous generators. They serve as the central power source for traction and on-board power supplies, are directly coupled to the diesel engine, and reliably supply both the traction motors and on-board equipment with energy.

Our broad portfolio covers power ranges from 30 to 5,000 kVA, thus meeting virtually every requirement. It includes both single- and dual-bearing generators, which are reliably in use in hundreds of vehicles worldwide under a wide variety of climatic conditions. Traction generators for mining vehicles are also part of our product range.
