Fischer Panda power for rail and locomotive applications
Generators for railway applications
Fischer Panda generators are installed on a variety of railway
applications providing battery charging for the locomotives,
powering equipment used by maintenance wagons or supplying
power to accommodation carriages.
Generators provide power to each of four accommodation carriages
on board the luxury Danube Express, supplying electrical systems
for air-conditioning, en suite showers and cabin lighting. The quiet
supply of power is also of importance during overnight stops
in cities. The operation of locomotive engines at night are often
restricted due to noise levels.
The generators are also used as auxiliary power sources supplying
power for tasks which are usually powered by idling the locomotive’s
engine such as cabin heating or preventing cooling systems
from freezing in winter weather. AC generators are also used on
maintenance wagons to power tools, compressors, pumps and
oodlighting during track repair and replacement.
The generator’s low prole is ideal for mounting externally
underneath the wagon. The heavy-duty sound shield provides
additional protection if the generator is installed externally.
