The regulated overhead wire is basically a wire that automatically
The regulated overhead wire is basically a wire that automatically tightens
the wire when it expands due to heat and loosens it during winter when the wire
shrinks; this doesn’t cause it to sag or contract away from the pantograph,â€
said an official.Commuters like Apurva Varadharajan, who resides at Seawoods,
said that the Harbour has seen a lot of wire snags due to which the delays have
been created on the line, which — unlike the mainline — does not have a fast
line.
If the railways has still not updated the overhead wire system on the
Harbour, we are going to see even cable
wire more delays due to problems. But due to loss of tension, the wire gets
entangled in the pantograph causing the train to come to a halt.The Central
Railway (CR) brought the alternating current (AC) to the mainline last year and
it will introduce it on the Harbour line this March, but it has not changed its
overhead wire system, which The Central Railway (CR) brought the alternating
current (AC) to the mainline last year and it will introduce it on the Harbour
line this March, but it has not changed its overhead wire system, which result
in disruptions that last for more than an hour. I hope they do the work soon,â€
she said. I remember when a wire had snagged near Tilak Nagar because of which I
was stuck in the train for one-and-a-half-hour.
The work for it took more time
than we had expected, but now we will change the overhead wire as soon as we
can,†he added. "We had not sent the proposal of the regulated overhead wire
until now since the work for the actual conversion was being constantly
delayed.The CR, which has been waiting for the conversions, said that work had
not been proposed since there was no date for the conversion, until
now.Electricity passes through the overhead wire, powering local trains. The
expected conversion on the Harbour will be done on the "unregulated overhead
wire†and officials said that they have written to the railway ministry in Delhi
to begin the process
