@th Woah! where did you find that?...

I'm aware of 400Hz on things like ships / aviation, but 15Hz?! ... I'm guessing rail from your other recent posts?

@th ... I also wonder how you select voltage/frequency and waveform... is it just random / could it change at any time? 😱

@attie this is on the IC train from Osnabrück to Amsterdam, which switches engines at Bad Bentheim from 15kV AC in Germany to 1500V DC for the Netherlands. maybe it depends on the catenary input?

@th @attie Apparently en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_kV_AC 50/ 16.2/35Hz/16.7 is common in Germany; (50/3) - but wth is this thing based on 60Hz and 60/4 ?
