Meitetsu Takehana Line
The is a Japanese railway line connecting Kasamatsu, Gifu, Kasamatsu with Hashima, Gifu, Hashima within Gifu Prefecture. It is owned and operated by Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu). History What is today the Meitetsu Takehana Line started when opened the section of line from Shin-Kasamatsu (now Nishi-Kasamatsu Station, Nishi-Kasamatsu) to Shin-Sakae (now Takehana Station, Takehana) on June 25, 1921, electrified at 600 VDC. On April 1, 1929, the line was extended from Shin-Sakae to . Takehana Railroad merged with Meitetsu, the present operator, on March 1, 1943. The voltage was increased to 1500 VDC in 1962, and in 1982 the Meitetsu Hashima Line, Hashima line opened. On October 1, 2001, the section of line between Egira Station and Ōsu Station closed. Stations It is described in conjunction with the Meitetsu Hashima Line, Hashima line.

Direct Current
Direct current (DC) is one-directional electric current, flow of electric charge. An electrochemical cell is a prime example of DC power. Direct current may flow through a conductor (material), conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, electrical insulation, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron beam, electron or ion beams. The electric current flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). A archaism, term formerly used for this type of current was galvanic current. The abbreviations ''AC'' and ''DC'' are often used to mean simply ''alternating'' and ''direct'', as when they modify ''Electric current, current'' or ''voltage''. Direct current may be converted from an alternating current supply by use of a rectifier, which contains Electronics, electronic elements (usually) or electromechanical elements (historically) that allow current to flow only in one direction. Direct current may be converted into alt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
