Loss of one electricity phase causes low voltage (95 V) for everyone

On the page here, they support both (20 and 22 kV).

When it comes to traction devices, you never really know where the power for that comes from. When the mains would drop in the city I used to live in, the trams running at 5kV still had power. Where did the power come from ? Batteries ? :-) The trams didn't have the "emergency traction" option (cheep), so if one stalled in the middle of an intersection, it just sat there.

Maybe the train running at 25kV, is a kind of flag indicating the power comes from some sort of parallel network.
