The railcars of the series Preußischer 551/552 Altona to 669/670 Altona were electric multiple units of the Hamburg-Altonaer Stadt- und Vorortbahn .
After tests on the Schöneweide – Spindlersfeld branch line and the Oranienburg test line, they were one of the first series vehicles to be procured in 60 units for operation with single-phase alternating current . These 60 vehicles were reconstructed in 1925 and remained in service in this form until 1952 with the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the Deutsche Bundesbahn . The designation of the converted vehicles changed from 1501 a / b to 1560 a / b . No copy has survived.
history
In 1905, 60 vehicles were initially ordered by the Prussian State Railways for operation on today 's Hamburg S-Bahn , which was initially intended as a trial run for the development of new electrical long-distance rail networks . The units should consist of two closely coupled three-axle cars. The unit was called a quarter train. The trains should run as scheduled with two to four quarter trains. The first train with the designation 2100/2101 was completed in the same year and extensively tested on the Oranienburg test railway until 1907.
The vehicles were delivered with two different drive engines. The quarter trains 2100/2101 to 2198/2199 and 2350/2351 to 2356/2357 were equipped with the Winter-Eichberg engine . The quarter trains 2358/2359 to 2368/2369 were equipped with the series motor . In the development, the executing companies were given a free hand, only the joint operation with multiple control should be guaranteed. As a result, quarter trains with electrical equipment from AEG consisted of two railcars, quarter trains with electrical equipment from Siemens-Schuckertwerke consisted of one railcar and one control car. In the ET + ET quarter trains, the railcar with the electrical equipment and pantographs had two drive axles, the other only one.
From October 1, 1907, the trains were used as planned on the Hamburg-Altona urban and suburban railway. The journey time on the Hamburg-Blankenese - Hamburg-Ohlsdorf section was reduced from 66 minutes to 52 minutes when the steam locomotive was running. There were initially problems with the vehicles, which led to numerous breakdowns. Defects in the power supply were responsible for the temporary shutdown of electrical operations. A deficiency in the vehicles was insufficient insulation in the transformers and traction motors, which led to excessive heating of the components. Mechanical defects were too weakly dimensioned bearings on the bogies, the short couplings were too weakly dimensioned, when cornering the sleeve buffers , which were initially straight, led to heavy loads on the buffer beam with bending.
Overall, the vehicles have proven themselves in overall operation. They were designed for a service life of seven to eight years, in practice the original version was in use until 1925. From 1910 they were given the new designations ET 551/552 Altona to ET 669/670 Altona . All 60 delivered railcars were equipped with reinforced electrical equipment and were given the new designations 1501 a / b to 1560 a / b with the following technical data:

After the conversion, the vehicles were only two-engined. The main work concerned upgrading the electrical equipment. New traction motors with a different gear ratio were installed. As a high-voltage switch, the oil switch was replaced by a high-voltage fuse. The controls have also been changed.
The wooden car bodies were refurbished. In 1928/1929 the pulling and buffing equipment was exchanged. Instead of the previous screw coupling , the vehicles were given a Scharfenberg coupling . In this configuration they were used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The last vehicles were retired in 1952.
construction
Wagon construction
The type of car corresponded to the passenger cars customary at the time, with skylights and compartment doors. The main frame consisted of riveted steel beams. The car body, which consisted of a wooden frame planked with sheet metal, was riveted to it. The vehicle was equipped with a bogie and a club steering axle . The suspension between the chassis and the car body was realized with leaf and coil springs. The air compressor was housed in the bogie, in which only one axle was driven, and in the other vehicle types in the running axle bogie . The single brake acted on all wheels in the bogie. The steering axles were unbraked.
The passenger compartments were kept simple. At the front of both cars was the driver's cab on the left-hand side in the direction of travel, which could be locked from time to time. The high-voltage chamber was housed in the driver's cab of the car with the pantographs. Although the cars were designed as compartment cars, they also had a side aisle and a luggage compartment inside. There was no abortion. The lighting was electric, as was the heating. This was controlled by resistors that could only work when the traction motors were de-energized.
Electrical part
These vehicles were equipped differently depending on the executing company, the compatible control of the vehicles was uniform. It is known about the AEG wagons that they had hoop pantographs, similar to the lyre pantographs, which could be operated with compressed air. The high-voltage chamber housed two bracket disconnectors , the lightning protection, the earthing device, the high-voltage fuse and an oil switch. The transformer was oil-cooled and hung under the car body floor. There were taps for the traction motors with 450 V and 700 V and for the auxiliaries with 300 V. The low-voltage side enabled the car to be operated with 300 V when driving in the depot .
The control of the vehicle during operation was implemented with an electromagnetic contactor control. Initially, the car had only four, later six speed levels. They had additional transformers for the excitation to control the Winter-Eichberg traction motors . An excitation transformer fed the rotors of the traction motors, the stator received its voltage, which was adjustable in two stages. The traction motors were designed as four-pole DC machines and were self-ventilated. The inner bearings were oil-cooled and received the oil through an oil pump. Originally, only the air compressor of the leading car was responsible for supplying the air brake with air. Later all the air compressors worked depending on the leading car. The pantographs could be controlled depending on the reversing switch. For the compressed air control, the cars had a continuous main air tank line. All cables were routed in special channels.
The cars with the electrical equipment from Siemens-Schuckertwerke had pantographs . Their traction motors were experimentally designed as series motors . They had resistor connectors built into the grooves of the anchor . The performance of the motors could be increased by a retrofitted external ventilation. The control was able to adapt the tractive forces to the individual speed levels well.
The following accelerations were determined during measurement runs:
- when traveling from a stand up to 30 km / h 0.43 m / s²
- when traveling from a standing position up to 45 km / h 0.3 m / s².
