  • A Einphasenstromabnehmer (SX 001 BU) for operation below 25 kV 50 Hz;
  • A current collector (SX 002 BB) for operation below 1.5 kV.

For use in the Midi- catenary in the south of France, which, though supplied with 1.5 kV DC, but has a different catenary geometry, 60 vehicles were equipped with a modified pantograph. These locomotives are at an "M" behind the vehicle number identified.
