FS Class ALe 724
The ALe 724 are a class of EMUs of the Italian Ferrovie dello Stato, projected for suburban and regional services. History In 1978 the Ferrovie dello Stato received a series of prototype-EMUs, the so-called ″ Treni GAI″, that had for the first time a chopper technology instead of the classical electric equipment. As the tests of the ″treni GAI″ were positive, in May 1979 the FS ordered a series of EMUs derived from them. The lombard regional railway company FNM had already ordered in 1978 some similar railcars, numbered E.750. The FS ordered 60 trains, each made of 4 elements: 30 trains had two railcars and two trailers (ALe 724 + Le 884 + Le 883 + ALe 724) and due to their high acceleration were destined to the suburban services; the other 30 trains had only one railcar, with a driving trailer on the other side (ALe 724 + Le 884 + Le 884 + Le 724) and were destined to the regional services. Each train can carry 320 seated people. The trains were delivered from 198 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

FS Class ALe 803
The ALe 803 are a series of EMUs built in the 1960s for the Italian state railways FS, and now used by the railway company Trenitalia. Description Each trainset is composed by 3 or 4 cars: a power car (ALe 803), 1 or 2 trailers (Le 803.100), and a control car (Le 803.000). The numbers are ALe 803.001–053 for the power cars, Le 803.101–161 for the trailers, and Le 803.001–053 for the control cars. History The ALe 803 were conceived at the end of the 1950s to resolve the increasing problems of commuting around the larger cities of Italy. They were designed together with the ALe 601 series luxury railcars, with a similar structure and shared components. In 1959 the Ferrovie dello Stato ordered a first series of 20 trainsets, and a second series of 15 trainsets specifically conceived for the Naples metropolitan railway, with fewer seats and more austere interiors. Each set was made of three distinct cars - power car, trailer and control car. Those series were delivere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Line 2 (Naples Metro)
Line 2 (Italian: ''Linea 2'') is a rapid transit service operated by Trenitalia in the city of Naples, Italy. It connects 12 stations. Line 2 operates on the urban railway, which crosses the city of Naples from west to east. All regional trains, differently from metropolitan trains, are received by Campi Flegrei station in different platforms. Line 2 also has some minor regional extensions. These are the Naples-Caserta and Naples-Salerno (all these services use the Passante rapid transit railway, of which the latter two start from Campi Flegrei station). History The construction of the line, part of the ″direttissima″ Rome–Naples, was begun in 1911 and after a suspension during World War I, it was completed in 1925 between ''Pozzuoli'' and ''Piazza Garibaldi'', electrified with third rail. Two years later the ″direttissima″ was completed, and the electrical rail service was extended towards Villa Literno and San Giovanni-Barra.Giovanni Cornolò: ''Automotrici elettr ...

Chopper (electronics)
In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly. Essentially, a chopper is an electronic switch that is used to interrupt one signal under the control of another. In power electronics applications, since the switching element is either fully on or fully off, its losses are low and the circuit can provide high efficiency. However, the current supplied to the load is discontinuous and may require smoothing or a high switching frequency to avoid undesirable effects. In signal processing circuits, use of a chopper stabilizes a system against drift of electronic components; the original signal can be recovered after amplification or other processing by a synchronous demodulator that essentially un-does the "chopping" process.
