What happens when the emergency alarm is activated?

When the emergency alarm is activated, one of the critical responses is that power is removed from the train. This action is designed to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, and the train itself by eliminating the risk of further incidents that could arise from an active power system in a potentially dangerous situation. Removing power effectively disables the train's propulsion and systems, allowing for a safer and more controlled response to the emergency situation.

This procedure is a standardized safety protocol in the railway industry, enabling rapid and effective protection measures during emergencies, thus minimizing the risk of accidents or escalated issues. The focus on electrical safety is paramount, and cutting off power is a decisive way to stop all train operations until the situation is assessed and managed properly.
