Type index



JR East developed mass production type of E351-0 series EMU for the Chuo Line "Azusa" services in 1993. Some pieces of equipment on the floor were fitted under the floor in order to make their centre of gravity lower.
The AVAF inverter traction system was changed into SC53 featuring IGBT. E351 series adopt mixed regenerative-dynamic braking under low possibility of regeneration. Current collectors were changed PS26C into light weight PS31A single-arm type.
Now E351-0 series are used on the "Super Azusa" limited services linking Shinjuku and Matsumoto.
