TRAMAG Transformers in use for Electrical Control and Safety in Crane Systems
A significant part of the worldwide transport of goods takes place in ISO-standardized containers. Over 5,400 container ships transport around 160 million TEU (TEU is the unit of measurement for the equivalent of a 20-foot container) across the world’s oceans every year. On their way from shipper to consignee, these containers have to be loaded, handled and unloaded. Without a massive deployment and round-the-clock operation of crane technology in the world’s seaports, such a logistics performance would be unthinkable.
TRAMAG control transformers are part of the electrical switchgear for the reliable control of a harbour crane, so that permanent and, above all, safe crane operation is guaranteed for fast and trouble-free container handling.
Control transformers enable machines and systems to be adapted to different mains voltages and increase the functional safety of electrical control systems by being able to be reconnectable in the event of constant overvoltage and undervoltage in the mains due to the standard additional taps of the primary voltages. In the event of a fault, they also dampen the level of the short-circuit current and make it possible to operate auxiliary circuits without earthing. For this reason, control transformers are mandatory in many electrical systems with several electromagnetic coils, circuits and devices according to the relevant technical standard.
TRAMAG: We are the Enablers
Electrically safe switching of the contactors used in the drives train of the crane operation is also required, above all, for the reliable and immediately triggering brake function. The galvanically isolated coils and the overload capability of the TRAMAG control transformer also ensure electrical protection when switching the contactors used.
For years, customers all over the world have trusted in our TRAMAG solution expertise in transformers, chokes and filters, in reliable use for safe control and stable operation of crane systems for global goods and cargo handling.

Quality is when your QMB goes “High-Five-S” with you
We know where quality must ultimately be demonstrated and proven: In the product, in the customer’s application. But where does quality begin? On the one hand in technical development and on the other hand in the organization of workplaces in production. Employees who keep their workstations tidy maintain an overview, have access to the right tools at all times and can work on the product efficiently and with quality assurance.

Information visit to TRAMAG by the VDI District Association of Bavaria North-East
On the afternoon of St Nicholas’ Day, the TRAMAG plant in Fürth hosted an information event for members of the Association of German Engineers (VDI) from the Bavarian North-East District Association. Due to the regional proximity and also taking TRAMAG’s 100th anniversary as an occasion, we received a request from the Nuremberg VDI local group to visit our plant, which we were very happy to fulfil.

“Quality is when the Customer comes back and not the Product”
The most technically innovative or economically attractive product in an application is worth nothing if the quality is not right. Not only would the failure of the product itself have to be lamented, but possibly also further damage to the entire application.
