how does electrical train works and what type of motors are
used to drive the train?
which level of supply voltage is used?

Answer Posted / kk_london

guys can anybody explain me how s d train is recieving ac
power when it has only one current collector, train can
recieve only dc power may be it is converted to ac and then
stepped down to lower voltage levels and then again
converted to feed dc motors. Am i correct can some one tell
me.
