you wouldn't electrify your tram network with 25kV 50Hz

@jeder
If I may ask, as someone who knows virtually nothing about trains and similar, what would be the issue doing that?

Info dump is OK, just keep the "virtually nothing" thing in mind 😝

@nanianmichaels mostly cost, size and weight constraints, 25 kV 50Hz is more suited for trains rather than trams which usually operate on 600/750V DC since that is cheaper and easier to operate on streets, and you don't need speeds that are possible with 25kV 50Hz either

@jeder Ah, gotcha. So like slapping a massive V12 turbocharged 10L monster into a Ford Pinto.

Possible, but very few people would be silly enough to do it.

Thanks for the explanation!
