• Indian Railways typically uses a 110-volt direct current (VDC) electrical system in its coaches.
• This voltage is used to power various electrical appliances and systems on board the trains.
• Here are some of the common functions and appliances that operate at 110 volts in Indian rail coaches:

1. Lighting: The interior lighting of the train coaches operates at 110 VDC. This includes both overhead lights and reading lights.
2. Fans: Ceiling fans in the train coaches also operate at 110 Volts.
3. Charging Ports: Many modern train coaches are equipped with charging ports for mobile devices and laptops. These charging ports often provide 110 Volts of power to passengers.
4. Air Conditioning: The air conditioning units in some train coaches are designed to work at 110 VDC. However, some coaches may use 415 VAC (Volts Alternating Current) systems for air conditioning.
5. Emergency Systems: Various emergency and safety systems on the train, such as emergency lighting, communication systems, and alarm systems, are also powered by 110 VDC.

• It’s worth noting that not all train coaches in India use 110 VDC. Some coaches, especially those with air conditioning, may use 415 VAC for their electrical systems.
• The specific voltage used can vary depending on the type of coach and its age.
• Additionally, some modern trains may have different electrical systems and voltages, so it’s essential to check with the railway authorities or the specific train operator for precise information about the electrical systems on a particular train.
