Abstract

In an electrically propelled vehicle having at least one roof container (1) and at least one pantograph (6), such that the roof container (1) contains at least components for electrically protecting the power electronics downstream of the pantograph (6), because the pantograph (6) is mounted in electrically insulated fashion on the roof container (1) there are only short unprotected electrical conduction paths between the pantograph (6) and the components for protecting the power electronics downstream of the pantograph (6).
