The report examines the effects on SEPTA and NJDOT commuter rail operations of NECIP plans to change the NEC electrification system from 11 kv/25 hz to 25 kV/60 Hz and to add catenary phase breaks every six to eight miles. Under the proposed NECIP plan, branch lines would remain at 11 kV/25 Hz. Commuter trains operating over the 25 kV/60 Hz system would require the addition of phase-break negotiating apparatus. Those operating on the branch lines as well would also require, automatic voltage changeover apparatus. Automatic train control would be required on all trains operating on the NEC. For the SEPTA system, most of the electrification would remain at 11 kV/25 Hz. However, trains providing service to Trenton, Wilmington and Chestnut Hill West would require the ability at both 11kV and 25 kV. At a minimum, the 232 Silverliner IV cars should be modified for dual-voltage operation.
