# Commission Decision of 30 May 2002 concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system referred to in Article 6(1) of Directive 96/48/EC (notified under document number C(2002) 1952) (Text with EEA relevance) (2002/735/EC), Division 2.3.1: Ability to operate on available traction supply systems

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

As national railways are equipped with various electrification systems, electric trains shall be able to use the available voltage and frequency, and have the correct pantograph to handle the catenary geometry.
These requirements for traction supply are defined in the energy subsystem TSI.
Pantograph: despite being installed on rolling stock, the pantographs are considered to be a part of the Energy subsystem as an important device the proper current-collection function of which is directly linked to the characteristics of the overhead line. The interface characteristics of the pantographs are specified and described in the energy TSI.
