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 / basant

Electric Trains work on DC Series motors.Electic train works by giving supply to the motor through
the transmission line it may be A.C supply or D.C supply.a
collector is used to collect the supply from the
transmission line and it is given to the A.C motor or D.C
motor.The motor is driven by using gears and belts.

The Overhaed supply is 25kV AC supply. It is step down and
rectified to use at DC supply. The power is used for moving train is about 10,000 volts(10kW).
