  "text": "For electrically powered interoperable trainsets, the principal interface elements between the rolling stock and the energy subsystem are defined in the energy TSI.\nThey are as follows:\nthe maximum power that can be drawn from the catenary (Section 4.1.6.2 of this document) defined in Section 4.2.2.5 of the energy TSI,\nthe maximum current that can be drawn at standstill is defined in Section 4.2.2.6 of the energy TSI,\nthe voltage and the frequency of the traction supply (see Section 4.1.6.1.1) defined in Section 4.2.2.7 of the energy TSI,\nover-voltages generated on the overhead line by harmonics (see Section 4.1.6.4) defined in Section 4.3.1.7 of the energy TSI,\nelectrical protection measures defined in Section 4.2.2.8 of the energy TSI,\nthe distribution of the pantographs defined in Section 4.2.2.9 of the energy TSI,\nrunning through phase separation sections defined in Section 4.2.2.10 of the energy TSI,\nrunning through system separation sections defined in Section 4.2.2.11 of the energy TSI,\nadjustment of the pantograph contact defined in Section 4.2.2.12 of the energy TSI,\npower factor (see Section 4.1.6.3) defined in Section 4.3.1.3 of the energy TSI,\nregenerative braking (see Section 4.1.6.1.2) defined in Section 4.3.1.4 of the energy TSI.\nThe interaction between the pantographs and the catenary is of particular importance since their joint operation will ensure an uninterrupted power supply for traction and, if required, regenerative braking. These requirements shall also be observed by all combinations of trains, single trainsets as well as trainsets that are coupled in multiple. The constraints imposed by the distribution of pantographs and the quality of current collection are defined in Section 4.3.2.3 of the energy TSI.",
