Future Investment – New Series Testing Facility at TSA

In regard to the increasing production output of Traktionssysteme Austria (TSA), we recently took another step to secure the manufacturing figures in terms of quality and volume. After 3 years of evaluating various technical solutions, TSA’s CEOs Günter Eichhübl and Robert Tencl signed the contract for a testing facility for electric traction drives with Cegelec, a Vinci Energies company. 

The order volume of 3.8 million EUR includes the supply of 4 series test units. The centerpiece of the facility are 2 alternator sets with a nominal voltage of 3,000V and a nominal power of 800kVA at a frequency range between 20 and 100Hz. During the project planning we paid great attention to a redundant design and the possibility for a largely fully automatic test sequence. The project term is expected to last for 14 months.

Cegelec CEO Norbert Herzog and his team clarified our final questions about the project and we were able to give the go-ahead for implementing this future investment.
