SHINKANSEN ELECTRIC POWER FACILITIES BETWEEN SHIN-OSAKA AND HAKATA

Shin Kansen electric power facilities have been constructed taking advantage of new technologies which have been developed in the ten years since the opening of the Tokyo-Shin Osaka segment. Problems of environmental protection have been taken into consideration and measures have been taken to prevent fires on board the trains. This article describes the heavy compound catenary system, the feeders and power transforming facilities and the overhead contact facilities in the Shin Kansen tunnels. Disaster prevention measures in tunnels are also described.
