What is this middle metal plate for at tram stations? Tags:luxembourg 9 comments They charge the capacitors of the trams for the 20 seconds the tram is stopped there Interesting question. It looks similar to this: https://www.alstom.com/solutions/infrastructure/srs-innovative-safe-and-automatic-charging-trams-and-electric-buses So it’s probably to charge the internal batteries when the tram is not connected to overhead power. I suppose it’s a conductor rail for these parts of the trail which cannot be served with pantograph. edit: grammar errors ) It’s the charger, no? They charge the tram and are only active when a tram is positioned over them. Its a magnet so you don’t lose your keys when you drop them. To charge the tram, since there is no upper electrification in the city center I used it to charge my phone Fir dech schwätzen ze döen :p Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
