High-Frequency Litz Wires for On-Track Efficiency
Safety on the Rails
Railway technology demands robust components that combine economic efficiency with the strictest standards. Efficient energy transmission and durability are key to modern rail vehicles. HF litz wires from PACK LitzWire help to save weight, optimize heat dissipation, and meet the high safety standards in passenger transport.
Whether in traction transformers, auxiliary power units, or signaling technology – our solutions offer tested insulation systems and long-term stable performance for reliable rail operation over decades.
We supply high-quality HF litz wires to manufacturers for:
- Power electronics
- Electric drives
- Control components
- Battery chargers
- Lighting systems
- Signaling technology & electronics
Safety through Standards and Precision
In railway technology, trust is based on strict compliance with railway-specific standards and the durability of the components.
- Standard-Compliant Safety
Our insulation systems are tested for partial discharge-free operation and long-term durability under harsh conditions. - Data-Based Design
With the help of RuPaFox© and LiWiCalc®, we design the number of strands and lay length precisely to your frequency specifications to optimize weight and costs. - Complete Process Control
As an owner-managed family business, we manufacture exclusively in Germany, thus guaranteeing consistently high quality. - Individual Parameterization
We adapt every litz wire exactly to your specifications to achieve the best possible performance for your specific area of application.
Service Life Predictions for Maximum Availability
A long service life is crucial for the reliability of components in railway technology. Failures cause high costs and operational interruptions. That is why we do not rely solely on theoretical assumptions but investigate aging processes under real operating conditions.
In close cooperation with research institutes and customers, we:
- develop valid service life predictions for various insulation systems
- verify the accuracy of our litz wire designs
- optimize the design of components based on data
This knowledge flows directly into your projects. It gives you the confidence to deploy durable systems on the rails that function reliably and with low maintenance even after years in use.
The requirements for railway technology are diverse and demanding. PACK LitzWire develops individual solutions in close coordination with customers that push technical boundaries.
PACK LitzWire, together with a railway technology manufacturer, developed an optimized litz wire winding for transformers. The challenge was to safely conduct extremely high currents without creating thermal hotspots. By using a high-frequency litz wire system, the current is distributed uniformly, which increases safety while simultaneously reducing component volume.
For auxiliary power units (APU) in trains, PACK LitzWire realized compact and extremely durable power transformers and inductors. The HF-optimized litz wires ensure reliable function over 30 years even under the high shock and vibration loads of railway operation. The robust insulation concept prevents partial discharges and ensures availability.
Designing the optimal high-frequency litz wire for passive components in power electronics often poses complex challenges for electrical engineers. A groundbreaking research project by Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in collaboration with our company demonstrates how significant reductions in winding losses can be achieved through systematic analysis and optimization.
