Schaltbau Holding AG

Amsterdam - Paris without changing traction unit

En route from Amsterdam to Paris a train passes through three different contact wire voltages. No problem with electrics from Schaltbau: the vacuum circuit breaker connects the train to the power supply; the voltage selector adapts the vehicle configuration and the traction contactors work with both AC and DC voltages.

With our control and signalling devices – from master controller to warning tone generator – the train driver guides the train safely to its destination.
