EMU Railway service
I want to get information about Railway service of Electric multiple unit (EMU), can you tell me from which sources can I get information regarding to Railway service of Electric multiple unit (EMU)? An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages, using electricity as the motive power. Each car can have more than one function, such as a motor-driving car or power-driving car. A power car carries the necessary equipment to draw power from the electrified infrastructure, such as pickup shoes for third rail systems and pantographs for overhead systems, and transformers. Motor cars carry the traction motors to move the train, and are often combined with the power car to avoid high-voltage inter-car connections. Driving cars are similar to a cab car, containing a driver's cab for controlling the train. An EMU will usually have two driving cars at its outer ends. Trailer cars are any cars that carry little or no traction or power related equipment, and are similar to passenger cars in a locomotive-hauled train. On third rail systems the outer vehicles usually carry the pick up shoes, with the motor vehicles receiving the current via intra-unit connections. These services are very popular among daily commutator for In-time services Reliability in services with very rare failure Very low fare Vendor compartment to carry daily market products such as milk, vegetables, Tiffen supply in offices It is similar to the concept of Train Set in European countries with a few additions such as Toilet facility Few Air Conditioned Coaches Maximum permissible speed raised to 160 Kmph Last edited by Neelurk; March 11th, 2020 at 09:14 AM. |
