Traction transformers areheavy and suffering dynamic load all the time when the train is starting,stopping and moving. These load cases make it necessary to design tractiontransformers in fatigue resistance view. In this paper, random vibrationsimulation is done for traction transformer with finite element method. ThisFEM result is used for fatigue analysis. Several methods of damage accumulationfor random vibration are discussed and compared with test result. Result showssingle moment method is a better choice for traction transformers.
