The report covers engineering requirements of converting electric MU cars and locomotives operating on the Northeast Corridor for dual-voltage, dual-frequency operation during and after rehabilitation of the electrification system for 25 kV, 60 Hz power. Technical considerations included compatibility of vehicles with electrified system; apparatus required on the vehicles for operation at 25 kV, 60 Hz, including pantograph, potential transformer, vacuum interrupter, high-voltage fuse, lighting arrester, primary-current transformer, main transformer and high-voltage conduit, cable, cable-support insulators, connectors, and terminator; modification of all power systems for frequency desensitivity; battery-sustained interior lighting; cab signal modifications; rehabilitation of old equipment; and testing requirements.
