Re: Dual Voltage for R1 2001

Whilst I'm not sure of the exact details, I think it has to do with the "value" of the wiring (that is, it's able to take the greater voltage), the "value" of the resistances and the windings and insulation of the motors. For instance, in San Jose, when they tried to run the veteran cars on the light rail (750V) they started blowing motors, they resolved the problem simply by not allowing the controlers to move beyond series, at 750 volts, this almost gave them parallel speed at 600v.

How does one wire for 600V and 750V?  I know how it's done for 600-1200V.

First I would like to say that the blue livery reminds me of the
original Sydney Light Rail Livery, and would have look right at home
running on the system beside the modern LRVs, before they were
plastered in advertising.
Secondly does anybody know the exact reason why 2001 was wired for
both 600V and 750V? Is there plans to run this vehicle on Sydney's
light rail system?
