Change system

Change system in Padborg.

I forbindelse med Danmark, er der to steder hvor kørestrømmen skifter: Padborg og Øresund. På Øresundsforbindelsen sker spændingsskiftet ikke på dansk territorium.

I Padborg skifter kørestrømmen mellem dansk spænding, 25 kV 50 Hz, og tysk spænding 15 kV 16 ²/3 Hz. Spændingsskiftet sker ud for perronen, så et-strømstog kan komme til perron.

- tegningen til højre er ikke en sporplan, men skitserer blot fordelingen af strømsystemer.

First information about disconnection.

Then the two insulators.

Finally information about new voltage in the wire.

Here stops the 15 kV 16 ²/3 Hz while coming from south.

And here begins the Danish 25 kV 50 Hz.

The ER-unit is very close to the change of systems.

The EG-locomotives are going quite good on both systems. Here in south part, width the pantograph activated.

While the EA-locomotives is rolling into the south part af the station, the pantographs must be lowered, because the power is strange. After that must the locomotive be pulled by a shunter.

But as soon as the EA'er is on the north part, it can run by it self.

The German locomotives have their own circulation east for the platform. Used by the NOB-trains.
