Type of unit
A 250 km/h self-propelled, dual voltage electric train unit fitted with a variable gauge
system
Unit made up of 4 cars MCT-MIT-MIP-MCP, which can be extended up to 8 cars by
adding an additional 2 intermediate MIF cars. Two electric motors per motor car,
located in the carbody and controlled by IGBTs, which operates one of the axles of
each bogie via a cardan joint. A regenerative electric brake is also supplied, which is
complemented with pneumatically operated disc brakes with a wheel slide protection
system.
One traction inverter per car which operates on the two carbody motors. There are three
auxiliary converters per train and two of these are in operation with the third only
coming into operation should one of the other two fail.
Modern and functional interior distribution, with four WCs per unit: 1 standard WCS in
the MC1, MI1 and MC2 cars and a WC adapted for PMRs in the MI2 car. Fixed seats.
Access doors in the centre of the cars with two semi-saloons to the left and right of the
central vestibules.
Bogies:
Axles for a track gauge, a motor axle and a trailer axle per bogie.
Monobloc non-alloyed steel wheels, with low carbon content and with tempered flange
surface.
Primary suspension by means of coil springs and secondary, pneumatic suspension.
Welded steel frame.
The carbody is supported on a load bolster which is rigidly connected, under which the
secondary suspension is mounted. The horizontal forces are transmitted via a drag pivot
pin.
The service and emergency brake consist of steel discs produced in sections and
screwed to the axle. The parking brake consists of accumulator springs located in one
cylinder per axle.
