Our New Contract for the Replacement of EOR Transformer Boxes in Wrocław.
Did you know that the right technology can prevent railway switches from freezing even on the coldest winter days? A crucial role is played by Electric Switch Heating (EOR) transformer boxes, which utilize innovative technology developed over a hundred years ago by the Canadian company Pyrotenax. This system, integrated directly with the rails through metal tubes with resistive elements, provides the necessary heat to keep the switches fully functional.
We recently signed a contract to replace these transformer boxes at the Wrocław Główny station, covering railway lines No. 271 and 273. As part of the modernization, we will dismantle the existing boxes on switches 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11, and then install new, modern transformer boxes that will significantly improve the system’s efficiency and reliability.
