A traction motor in railways constitutes an electric motor that converts electrical energy into torque energy, and it is connected to a shaft, resulting in linear motion.
Traction motors are powered by electricity and generate the power to rotate the wheels of the train. The turning force produced by traction motors is transmitted to the wheels via the driving gear unit and axle.
Traction motors are typically mounted in the railway rolling stocks where the wheels are housed. Reduced number of components for fewer items requiring maintenance and reduced frequency.
Completely sealed structure and improved accessory devices such as cooling fans help keep noise levels low in railway traction motors.
Global Railway Traction Motor Market: Overview
The Global Railway Traction Motor Market is valued at USD 3426.46 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach a value of USD 4836.01 billion in 2030 expanding at a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period of 2022-2030.
The increase in demand for high-performance motors, favourable government policies and subsidies, and the rise in investments in the railway sector are likely to drive the market growth.
Railway traction motors market worldwide is a rapidly growing market supported by the rising adoption of metros and monorails and swift transition towards railway electrification systems in almost all major regions.
Advancements in railroad technologies coupled with vehicular emissions reforms represent factors accelerating market growth.
Key Trends: Growth Determinants and Challenges
- Increasing stringency of emission regulations to push OEMs to manufacture and sell electric and hybrid vehicles
Growing concerns about the harmful effects of various means of transportation on the environment, such as air pollution, are increasing day by day. The rising concerns about environmental pollution have forced automotive manufacturers to develop vehicles that comply with regional regulatory standards. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2020, the worldwide electric car fleet grew to 10 million vehicles, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounting for two-thirds of the total.
- Motor failure due to overheating
Excessive heat due to overheating can result in motor failure by weakening the winding insulation in electric motors. Overheating occurs due to overload, poor power conditions, highly effective service factors, frequent turning on-off of the motor, and lack of air circulation around the motor. Electric motors also tend to overheat in high-temperature environments.
Around 30% of all motor failures occur due to insulation failure, and approximately 60% happen due to overheating. Permanent magnet motors are challenged with significant reliability issues; these motors lose their magnetism if exposed to high temperatures.
