Rail vehicle

Abstract

A rail vehicle includes electric equipment with electrical components and at least one container unit which is provided to accommodate the electrical components. The container unit of the rail vehicle enables the electrical equipment to be mounted in a non-complex manner and the components thereof being maintained in a simple and reliable manner. The container unit has several voltage regions which are adjacent to each other and which are spatially separated from each other. A different voltage is associated with each respective region.

         11 . A rail vehicle, comprising:
 electric equipment with electrical components;   at least one container unit for accommodating said electrical components;   said at least one container unit being formed with a plurality of voltage regions adjacent one another and spatially separated from another, and wherein a different voltage is associated with each said region.   
     
     
         12 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , wherein said container unit includes at least one separation device configured to separate two adjacent voltage regions. 
     
     
         13 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , comprising a carriage body, and wherein said container unit is disposed underneath said carriage body. 
     
     
         14 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , wherein said container unit comprises a cohesive supporting arrangement jointly carrying said plurality of voltage regions. 
     
     
         15 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , wherein said container unit is an elongate structural unit with a longitudinal direction oriented perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle. 
     
     
         16 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 15 , wherein said container unit is formed with at least two maintenance access points, which, relative to the longitudinal direction of said container unit, are each arranged at a different end side of said container unit. 
     
     
         17 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , wherein said container unit has a base side and at least one separate maintenance access point for each said voltage region formed in said base side. 
     
     
         18 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of cable interfaces arranged on said container unit and each associated with a different said voltage region. 
     
     
         19 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 18 , wherein said cable interfaces are detachably mounted on said container unit. 
     
     
         20 . The rail vehicle according to  claim 18 , further comprising a cable routing unit, said cable routing unit having a plurality of cable routing paths each associated with a respective one of said cable interfaces.
