Meitetsu Chikkō Line
The is a 1.5 km Japanese railway line in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, owned and operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu). At Meiden Chikkō, between the line's two stations, there is a connection to the freight-only Nagoya Rinkai Railway Tōchiku line. History The line was opened in 1924 by the Aichi Electric Railway, electrified at 1,500 V DC, to service the Nagoya Port. The line was double-tracked in 1939, but after being damaged by Typhoon Vera in 1959, the line was repaired as a single track. Although the line used to handle many freight services, they ceased in 1984. A test line for testing maglev trains ran alongside the line between 1991 and 2004, but the line was removed after Linimo opened. At the start of the March 16, 2024, timetable revision, the fleet of Meitetsu 5000 series (2008), 5000 series four-car trains used on the line were replaced with Meitetsu 3100 series, 3100 series, Meitetsu 3500 series, 3150 series, and Meitetsu 9100 series, 9 ...

Direct Current
Direct current (DC) is one-directional electric current, flow of electric charge. An electrochemical cell is a prime example of DC power. Direct current may flow through a conductor (material), conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, electrical insulation, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron beam, electron or ion beams. The electric current flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). A archaism, term formerly used for this type of current was galvanic current. The abbreviations ''AC'' and ''DC'' are often used to mean simply ''alternating'' and ''direct'', as when they modify ''Electric current, current'' or ''voltage''. Direct current may be converted from an alternating current supply by use of a rectifier, which contains Electronics, electronic elements (usually) or electromechanical elements (historically) that allow current to flow only in one direction. Direct current may be converted into alt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
