[snipped] Same is true for Germany (whole Europe (as common in many fields UK probably excluded?)shares a power grit to overcome local power shortages, so I guess we all have more or less the same system with 230V at 50Hz). For the 380V system it is (...) (14 years ago, 24-Feb-12, to lugnet.trains)
