3-phase pantograph on a Corcovado Rack Railway train in Brazil. The locomotive needs to pick up power from two (or three) overhead conductors. Early locomotives on the Italian State Railways used a wide bow collector which covered both wires but later locomotives used a wide pantograph with two collector bars, side by side. A three-phase system ...
The section from Colta via Riobamba to Urbina was inaugurated on 3 October 2012. [16] The first phase of the rehabilitation project, the 271 km between Quito and Guamote, was inaugurated on December 27 and 28, 2012. [16] The second phase of the rehabilitation project, the 181 km between Guamote and Duran, was inaugurated on January 28 and 29 ...
Electric locomotives using three-phase electric power, power is collected from two (plus the rail), or three, overhead lines. Trains portal Pages in category "Three-phase AC locomotives"
The Jungfrau Railway, the highest in Europe, uses three-phase electric power between two overhead lines and the rails. Various railway electrification systems in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries utilised three-phase, rather than single-phase electric power delivery due to ease of design of both power supply and locomotives. These ...

E.402A has two three-phase inverters and two choppers (one per bogie) which can feed the motors with a variable voltage ranging from 0 to 4200 V, depending on catenary voltage (from a minimum of 1200 to 4000 V) E.402B uses a rectifier when under 25 kV and choppers when under 3 and 1.5 kV which feed the two water-cooled GTO inverters.
Italian railways were the first in the world to introduce electric traction for the entire length of a mainline rather than just a short stretch. The 106 km Valtellina line was opened on 4 September 1902, designed by Kandó and a team from the Ganz Works. [22] [21] The electrical system was three-phase at 3 kV 15 Hz. The voltage was ...
