.

Note the voltages are nominal, and vary depending on load and distance from the substation.

Many modern trams and trains use on board solid state electronics to convert these supplies to run three-phase AC Voltage motors.

600 V DC overhead
This voltage is used by older tram systems worldwide.

by most older US subways.

750 V DC overhead
This voltage is used for most modern tram systems.
