A current collector for a multi-pole contact line system has a lower arm that is pivotally mounted on a base and at least two upper arms that are pivotally mounted on an end of the lower arm opposite the base. The current collector also has at least two contact assemblies that are arranged on the respective upper arms and are associated with separate different poles of a contact line. The current collector further has a central compensating rocker arranged on the base and at least two connecting rods, the first end of each of which is pivotally connected to the central compensating rocker and the second end of each of which is pivotally connected to one of the at least two upper arms. An electrified transport system uses such a current collector.

A device is electrically connected to first and second terminals of an energy collector and provided with first and second electrical contacts intended to be placed in contact, for the electrical supply of the energy collector, respectively with first and second conjugated electrical contacts of a supply device on the ground, in turn electrically connected to an electrical power source. The device has a mesh connecting the second electrical contact and an output terminal connected to the second terminal of the energy collector, the mesh having a diode inserted between the second electrical contact and the second terminal of the energy collector so as to avoid the circulation of a current toward the second terminal of the energy collector.

A connecting unit for connection to an electric vehicle with two or more contact rails is provided. By way of example, one contact rail is provided for the connection DC+ and one contact rail is provided for the connection DC−. These contact rails are dependent on one another to a certain degree on account of the positive and negative polarity. Therefore, the contact rails are not arranged in any desired manner, but rather at a specific distance from one another. Furthermore, the connecting unit has a further contact rail to which a signal can be applied. The contact rails can be connected to corresponding vehicle-side contact rails of the electric vehicle.

According to some embodiments, a rail transport vehicle electric energy storage and charging system is presented. The system may include an energy storage sub-system and a charging system having a charging rail which only charges a vehicle when the rail is covered. The system may also include a battery-powered rail vehicle having a rail-contacting charging shoe.
