Persona 3 Reload class questionsare some of the hardest you’ll encounter, especially if you are not a “General Knowledge” aficionado. In this guide, I’ll tackle the question, “What do you call the device that helps generate electric power for the train?” in P3 Reload.

What is the answer to a device that generates electric power question in P3R?

On May 6th, you’ll get a class question and answer portion from Ms. Ounishi. She will provide an image of a device that helps generate electric power for the train. The answer to this question is thePantograph.

The Pantograph is an ingenious device made by a German Physicist,Christoph Scheiner. The device is mainly located on the roof of an electric locomotive (i.e. trains). Its job is tocollect powerfrom an overhead wire and transfer it to atransformer.

When a train starts, the Pantograph raises its components using anair pressure systemor apiston cylinderuntil it touches the contact wires.

You may be wondering why your local train doesn’t have that same Pantograph in the image shown by Ms. Ounishi. The image shown by Ms. Ounishi is adouble-arm pantograph, which is much less efficient and has a high repair cost when damaged.

Nowadays, a modern iteration of the pantograph calledsingle-arm (i.e. Z-Shaped)is used by high-speed rail transits as it is much more efficient. Since it only has one arm, the repair cost is not as high as the olddouble-arm pantograph.
