While the MI09 in Wado's post is capable of running on 1.5kvDC or 25kvAC, that NSW Trainlink H set only runs on 1.5kvDC. That greatly simplifies the electric traction system, for one thing there's no need for a transformer, and makes it easier to leave more of the carbody to passengers. The NSW H sets are essentially the same as Chicago's Highliners, just a whole lot nicer.In the case of the Alstom MI09 there's a significant amount of available passenger space given over to the power electronics. The cab cars are unpowered, while the three middle cars house the traction systems and motors, and IIRC at each end the space between the end door and car end is dedicated to traction electronics. |
