Traction equipment is cooled by ventilation to prevent over-heating. The energy needed for ventilation can be substantially reduced by demand-controlled operation, i.e. by controlling ventilation power (e.g. the speed of the mechanical fans) according to actual cooling demand of the motor (or other traction equipment). The technology is wide-spread but not a standard yet.
