Re: France breaks world speed record for rail trains

25kV does not necissarily 25k hp equate. Wikipedia some info on the motors for me. It is interesting to read about the lines they use, but 50hz is super low. I wonder if there are some high frequency lines nearby to carry the power long distances and transformers for the train's power supply.
