A train, comprising a train formation consisting of a head car, a power car and an intermediate car, end walls of the head car, power car and intermediate car having thereon oppositely disposed connectors 2 extending perpendicular to a direction of travel of the train; all connectors 2 on the end walls of the train are connected by means of wiring; the head car, power car and intermediate car connect electric power wiring of the whole train by means of the connectors when in any formation state; the train has disposed thereon two parallel power supply wires penetrating the entire train and multiple auxiliary power supply systems. The present invention can decrease different voltage standard conversion equipment of a multiple unit, lowering in-vehicle equipment costs. By means of designing an auxiliary power supply system topology having a redundant power supply, the present invention realizes variable train formation quantity for a multiple unit and arbitrary reversal of direction of an intermediate car formation, and can also ensure that promptly taking emergency measures and switching power supply wiring when a single power supply line malfunctions does not affect auxiliary power supply of the train.

A startup stage protection device used in Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train coupler experiment is provided between two test cars. The startup stage protection device is arranged between and tightly abuts two test cars at the starting stage of the experiment to receive a compressing force in place of the coupler. The startup stage protection device separates from the two test cars after the end of the starting stage.

A vehicle, particularly a rail vehicle, includes at least two coach bodies being coupled together and at least one line bridging a gap between the coach bodies. The line, which is an outwardly electrically insulated high-voltage line, is flexible and is guided by a cable guiding device in the region of the gap between the coach bodies at least in sections. The cable guiding device includes a multiplicity of guiding elements which are mechanically coupled together and can be pivoted in relation to each other in a guiding plane. The cable guiding device is flexible in the guiding plane and is less flexible in a plane which is perpendicular thereto than in the guiding plane.
