Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction.

See FS Class D.445 and Alternating current

Alternator

An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.

See FS Class D.445 and Alternator

Bo-Bo

B-B and Bo-Bo are the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and British classifications of wheel arrangement for railway locomotives with four axles in two individual bogies.

See FS Class D.445 and Bo-Bo

Control car

A control car, cab car (North America), control trailer, or driving trailer (UK, Ireland, Australia and India) is a non-powered rail vehicle from which a train can be operated.

See FS Class D.445 and Control car

Diesel fuel

Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.

See FS Class D.445 and Diesel fuel

Diesel locomotive

A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the power source is a diesel engine.

See FS Class D.445 and Diesel locomotive

Direct current

Direct current (DC) is one-directional flow of electric charge.

See FS Class D.445 and Direct current

Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane

Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane S.p.A. ("Italian State Railways JSC"; previously only Ferrovie dello Stato, hence the initialism FS) is Italy's national state-owned railway holding company that manages transport, infrastructure, real estate services and other services in Italy and other European countries.

See FS Class D.445 and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane

Fiat

Fiat Automobiles S.p.A. (originally FIAT, Fabbrica Italiana Automobili di Torino) is an Italian automobile manufacturer, formerly part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and since 2021 a subsidiary of Stellantis through its Italian division Stellantis Europe.

See FS Class D.445 and Fiat

Flexicoil suspension

Flexicoil suspension is a type of secondary suspension for railway vehicles, typically having steel coil springs between the bogie trucks and chassis/frame of a passenger coach, goods freight wagon, or locomotive.

See FS Class D.445 and Flexicoil suspension

FS Class D.341

The FS Class D.341 is a class of diesel-electric locomotive used in Italy, introduced in the 1950s and still in service. FS Class D.445 and FS Class D.341 are Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane diesel locomotives and Standard gauge locomotives of Italy.

See FS Class D.445 and FS Class D.341

FS Class D.443

The FS Class D.443 is a class of diesel-electric locomotive used in Italy, introduced in the late 1960s and still in service. FS Class D.445 and FS Class D.443 are Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane diesel locomotives and Standard gauge locomotives of Italy.

See FS Class D.445 and FS Class D.443

Head-end power

In rail transport, head-end power (HEP), also known as electric train supply (ETS), is the electrical power distribution system on a passenger train.

See FS Class D.445 and Head-end power

Italy

Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern and Western Europe.

See FS Class D.445 and Italy

Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon

Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon was a Swiss engineering company based in the Zürich district of Oerlikon known for the early development of electric locomotives.

See FS Class D.445 and Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon

Monomotor bogie

A monomotor bogie (bogie monomoteur) is a form of traction bogie used for an electric locomotive or diesel-electric locomotive.

See FS Class D.445 and Monomotor bogie

Naphtha

Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture.

See FS Class D.445 and Naphtha

Pulse-width modulation

Pulse-width modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM) or pulse-length modulation (PLM), is any method of representing a signal as a rectangular wave with a varying duty cycle (and for some methods also a varying period).

See FS Class D.445 and Pulse-width modulation

Push–pull train

Push–pull is a configuration for locomotive-hauled trains, allowing them to be driven from either end of the train, whether having a locomotive at each end or not.

See FS Class D.445 and Push–pull train

Radiator (engine cooling)

Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston-engined aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generating plants or any similar use of such an engine.

See FS Class D.445 and Radiator (engine cooling)

Rectifier

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.

See FS Class D.445 and Rectifier

Revolutions per minute

Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines.

See FS Class D.445 and Revolutions per minute

Trenitalia

Trenitalia SpA is the primary train operator of Italy.

See FS Class D.445 and Trenitalia

Trenord

Trenord is a railway company which is responsible for the operation of regional passenger trains in Lombardy.
